Fare From Havelock Team
Morehead City took both ends
of its doubleheador with Havelock
over the weekend, winning Satur
day's game, 5-1, and taking Sun
day's encounter, 10 0. Both games
were played in MorVhead City, al
though Havelock took its turn at
bat us the home team in Sunday's
.whitewashing.
Vimmjf-Wqbb, wh pitched Satur
Efiayjs win, just missod clialking up
a shutout by virtue ot tnree More
head errors in the eighth inning.
Webb allowed but six hits and fan
ned 12 batters in the process of
winning. Harry Salter did the
catching.
Fred Taylor did the hurling for
Havelock and Chuck Kohlbecker
called the signals.
Morehead opened the scoring
vith one in the initial frame.
Francis Stoy doubled over the
short rightfield wall and took
third on an infield out. Jack Gard
ner's fly to left brought in Stoy
with the run.
The game remained on close
terms until Morehead broke out
with four tallies in the last of the
seventh. .
Picev Smith singled and took
corn nil nn an infield out. Stoy
smacked another ground rules
two-bagger over the fence and took
third on consecutive free passes
to Wayne Benton and Gardner.
Joe Hill promptly singled in two
runs and moved Gardner to third.
Hill then stole second, and when
Kohlbcckcr's throw was wild,
Gardner scored.
Errors were responsible for the
lone Havelock run in the eighth
session. Anderson singled and was
forced at second by Kohlbecker.
Third baseman Smith threw wide
on Joe Pyzgodzinski's roller, pull
ing Brinson off the bag at first,
and when Kohlbecker attempted
to take third, Brinson tossed back
to Smith but Piggy dropped the
ball as he made the tag, making
it a double error for Smith.
Pyzgodzinski then stole second,
and after Salter made his pet! to
shortstop Footsy Palmer, Kohl
becker broke for home. Palmer
returned the ball to the plate, but
not only was it late, but wild for
an error.
Clifton Shame turned in a
beauty of a pitching performance
in Sunday's contest. The More
head lefty allowed but' three
meaningless singles, the last of
these coming in the third inning,
after which Sharpe hurled six and
one third innings of no-hit ball.
Sharpe struck out 12 batsmen
and walked five, which is good
control for a pitcher who is usual
ly trouubled by wildness.
Morehead started things off with
two in the first and two more in
the second. In the first, Stoy
walked nd stole second. After
taking third on an infield out, Stoy
came in on Gardner's double, and
Gardner himself tallied on a sin
gle by Palmer.
In the second, Smith and Salter
came throdgh with consecutive
base knocks, to put men on first
and second. Sharpe then sacrific
ed both men along. Smith tallied
en an infield out and Salter came
in when Benton singled.
". Ther was no further scoring
(t 1 ol 7M keps
until Morehead cashed in five in
the sixth stanza. With two out,
Sharpe singled and Stoy got a life
via shortstop Sonny Russell's mis
cue. Benton singled in Sharpe,
and Benton took second on the
throw-in to the plate, putting men
on second and third.
Gardner then received a delib
erate base on balls to load the
sacks, setting the stage for Hill,
who promptly unloaded them with
a base-clearing two-bagger to cen
ter. Jack Gaskins then came in to
relieve starter Odell Morton for
Havelock. Palmer greeted Gas
kins with a double to left center
to score Hill.
Morehead's final run came in
the ninth on a double by Hill, a
single by Palmer, and a forceout
scoring Hill.
