In a ball game worthy of sea
soned ball players, the Lion Cubs
finally subdued the Rotary Rockets
in the bottom of the last inning
Thursday at Camp Glenn. With
two out and none on base, Jimmy
Nolan singled over short, Mac
Mizelle was hit by a high inside
pitch, and Garrie Guthrie, with the
full count on him, drove a liner
over the left center field wall scor
ing three runs and winning the
ball game 7 to 4.
The Lions opened the scoring in
the first inning with Nolan singling
to center, advancing to second with
a stolen base, going to third on a
fielder's choice and scoring on a
fly ball to center. The Rockets
went ahead in the second.
Lewis opened by drawing a walk,
and when Mizelle played to second
on an attempted double play on
Lovick, all hands were safe..
Sledge drove in Lewis with a single
to left and Lovick advanced to
third from where he scored while
Awana was legging out a slow rol
ler to second.
This rally was cut short with a
fast double play when Sanderson
back-handed a line drive at second
and doubled up Awana. There
were four double plays executed
and, all told, only three errors
committed as a total for both
teams.
The Lions pulled within one run
in the bottom of the fifth to bring
the score to 5 and 4 when Mizelle
opened with a single, went to third
on Canficld's single to right. Can
field stole second on the next
pitch and both runners scored
when Pospisil lined a single to the
right field wall. Pospisil later
scored as Sanderson flied out to
center field.
The losing pitcher was Bailey
who allowed eight hits and all
seven runs, while Sanderson, who
came in on relief for Pospisil in
the fourth, was the winning pitch
er. Sanderson allowed no hits,
struck out six and walked two men
in the two and two thirds innings
he worked.
The hitting star, of course, was
Garrie Guthrie whose four-bagger
accounted for the three runs in
the last of the seventh and final
inning.

Lions Conquer
Camp Morehead
In Saturday Duel
The Lioni continued their ram
page Saturday afternoon when they
played host to Purcell Jones' Camp
Morehead representatives and took
them into their "camp" to the tune
of 11 to 2 at Camp Glenn.
The ball game was a pitcher's
duel through four innings with the
score standing at 2 to 1, with the
Lions leading.
In the fifth, however, the com
plexion of the game was changed
drastically when the Lions put to
gether three hits and two walks
while Camp Morehead was mis
cuing twice. The big hit was Ben
Webb's single with the bases load
ed and two out, accounting for the
4th, Sth and 6th runs of the inning.
The hitting stars for the Cuba
were Webb who had two singles
in four tries, and Sanderson who
had a leaf-off home run in the
second and a bases-loaded single
in the sixth.
The winning pitcher was San
derson, allowing only three hits
while striking out 13. The losing
pitcher. Hunter, allowed 8 hits and
8 runs before he was sent to the
showers in the fifth inning, but
his successors fared no better, al
lowing 4 hits and 3 runs in the
1 and 1/3 innings.

were visiting the Beaufort Bobcats
where the situation was a little
different. The Bobcats jumped to
an early 8 to 1 lead, and saw it

they iced the game with three
runs in the sixth inning to win 12
to 7.
