Pamlico Errors Cause Loss To Swansboro In Extra Innings The Pamlico hfidd h« been error-prone this season and the errors told on Pamlico Friday night in Bayboro. The Hurricanes com mitted 3 errors against Swans boro, with one error costing Pamlico 3 runs. Swansboro sneaked past Pamlico 4-3 in an extra-inning ballgame under the lights. But to give credit where credit is due, the Hurricane infield did make some nice defensive plays. In the first three innings, the infield teamed up to catch two runners Aurora Softball Takes Bear Grass * Aurora girls softball bounced •£ack from a difficult loss the day * Before and took advantage at Bear •5*rass on Thursday 8-3.

Aurora .1 added 2 final runs in the top of the ".sixth. Bear Grass threatened in the "last of the sixth. With one out, "Aurora’s pitcher Lisa Gibble load ed the bases on walks. Because of tbe field, Gibble was forced to pitch off a mound. But Gibble regained her composure to strike out the next batter and pop up the following batter to end the inning and take Aurora out of a sticky situation. “We played a very good ballgame that game,” said Lady Trojan coach June Zurface. “We didn’t have a lot of hits but we hit the ball hard and forced errors.” Five Aurora batters each had 2 hits in 4 appearances. One was Lisa Franklin, who is leading the Trojanettes with a .590 average Aurora Softball Winning Streak Ended Z‘\ The Lady Trojans fell prey to I^he Lady Indians in Chocowinity *iast Wednesday 7-5.

The Lady Indians added one more in the bottom of the fifth for the final 7-5 score. “We were swinging at bad pit ches,” commented Aurora’s coach June Zurface. “We Just weren’t up for it.

Franklin batted in 3 runs for the Lady Trojans. SCORING Aurora 320 OOO 0-5-9-4 Chocowinity 303 010 x-7-10-7 trying to steal second base. Swansboro began to threaten immediately, showing that they would indeed try to run the bases. With one out, a line drive single to left centerfield put the first runner on the bases. The runner stole second and advanced to third on a passed ball. The third batter hit to third baseman Demetris Davis who threw to catcher Mfte Pereira for the tag at homeplate to help put Pamlico out of the inning unscathed. Pamlico also threatened in the last of the opening frame. With two outs, Pereira drew a base on balls and stole second. Mack Rice advanced the runner to third on an infield basehit and then captured second. A fly ball to the second baseman ended the inning. In the top of the second, with one out, the Swansboro batter reached first on a Pamlico shortstop mistake. When the runner proceeded to try to take the next bag, Pereira teamed up with second baseman Scott Wilson to deny the steal. In the last of the second, Pamlico again got base runners on, but couldn’t finish the work. George Lupton singled up the middle but was put out at second on a Ricky Bennett Adder’s choice. Second base was stolen but the inning was over with a strike out and a ground out Swansboro Girls Elude Pamlico The Pamlico girls softball team rallied against Swansboro last week, compilings runs in the bottom of the sixth but the rally was not enough as Swans boro slipped by 8-6. The Pamlico girls did not hit well, knocking out just 3 hits in the contest but the Lady Hurricanes were able to capitalize on 6 crucial Swansboro mistakes. Swansboro rapped out 9 hits. Pamlico played relatively error-free, making just 2 mistakes, much lower than their season average par game. Swansboro jumped out to an 8-0 lead through 5 12 frames. The Lady Hurricanes got uncorked in the last of the sixth to plate6 runs. But in the last inning, the Pamlico girls had nothing left. Pamlico’s hits came from Pam Small, 1-3; and Marla Morrow and Crystal Jordan, 1-4. Dee Yates continues to pace the Lady Hurricanes with the bat, averaging .500 with 13 hits in 26 at bats. The Pamlico girls are scheduled to host Richlands Thursday night beginning at 7:00 at the Stonewall field. On Friday, the girls are slated to travel to Lejeune for a doubleheader li'. Aurora Bypasses Chocowinity v; The Trojans of Aurora came on ;j(trong on the baseball field in the third inning in Chocowinity last Tuesday to plate 5 runs. The ball game went just five innings due :to the rain but still counted as a win the Trojans. :■ Eddie Kinnicn started off the third liming offense with a single. Mike ^Anderson walked and Michael Xfltynum was hit by a pitch to load up X&e bases. Matthew Kinnion then jingled in 2 runs. Michael Sartin drew a walk as did Dale Scott to fill up the bases again for Aurora. Eddie Kinnion came around again for the Trojans to face the same situation as before with the same results. Kin nion singled in 2 more runners. The fifth Trojan run was walked in by Chocowinity but the Trojans left the bases loaded to end the inning. Aurora added on two more runs in the top of the fourth off of two Indian walks and a hit by a pitch phis a Michael Bynum double for the two runs. Aurora’s final run came in the top of the fifth as Ashy drew a walk, stole second and came home on a Jim Sired single. Eddie Khmion grasped the win for Aurora, pitching the length of the game.

Craig O’Neal beat out an infield single and stole second. James Mason drew a base on balls. Pereira hit into a fielder’s choice to put out O’Neal unassisted at third base. Both base runners advanced on a passed ball and then scored when Swansboro’s rightfielder failed to hang on to Rice’s fly down the rightfield line. The next two Pamlico batters flied out to cen terfield to leave Rice on second. The Pirates captured the lead in the top of the fourth. The lead off batter was the first of three Bennett walks, and advanced on a balk. The next batter also walked. After a fly out, the Pirates hit into a fielder’s choice with Pamlico electing to forceout the lead runner at third 6-5. Another Pamlico walk loaded the bases. With two outs, third baseman Davis fielded a show grounder and chunked the ball into right field foul territory, as three Pirate runs scored. Davis then switched places with Bennett and was able to hold Swans boro in check until the win ning run was scored for Swans boro in the ninth inning. The run was scored on another walk, a stolen base and a single. Pamlico’s third run transpired in the fifth frame as Rice, Davis and Lupton cracked out consecutive singles. Pamlico outhit Swansboro sub stantially. The Hurricanes rapped out 11 singles to the Pirates’ 3. Pamlico did threaten once more, in the sixth inning, but fell short on a mental baserunning error. Andre Greene singled and stole second base with one out Greene moved to third on an O’Neal single to right field. Greene stopped at third base but then continued on toward the plate where he was cut down on the throw from the outfield. Had he not hesitated at third, he could have beaten the throw home and Pamlico would have claimed the victory. Mack Rice, George Lupton, Mike Pereira and Andre Greene all had 2 hits in 4 at bats for the Hurricanes. Pamlico fell to 3-5 in the Coastal Plains Conference, 4-6 overall. The Hurricanes are still having trouble with erratic mound per formance. Of the Hurricanes’ 5 conference losses, 3 have been as a direct result of the deciding runs having readied base on walks. If hits and errors were the only means by which to reach base, Pamlico would in fact be leading the 9 member CPC race with a 6-2 record. But pitching wildness and in consistency has determined three league defeats. Offensively, Pamlico has outhit opponents 81 to 58 through the 10 games played thus far in the season. Mike Pereira continues to burn the bats in the league hitting stats. Through the Swansboro game, Pereira is hitting .519 with 14 hits in 27 at bats. He has also batted in 5 runs, walked 7 times and struck out just twice. Second high on Pamlico’s lineup (with over 20 at bats) is Mack Rice with a .306 average, hitting 11 times in 36 appearances. Rice has knocked in 6 runs, walked 4 times and struck out 3 times. Pamlico is scheduled to face Richlands Thursday night at 7:00. On Friday night, baseball fans will be treated to a doubleheader in Bayboro with Lejeune. Game time is scheduled for 5:00.

The Trojans scored their lone run in the top of the fifth off of Mike Anderson single and a Jim Sired two-bagger. Bear Grass answered in the last of that inning with a run to tie the game up until the seventh. r Bear Grass’ winning run was due to a Mike Asby walk, a steal and a single to hitin the run. Mike Asby went the duration for the Trojans, picking up the loss. Asby walked seven batters and struck out 9. Bear Grass pitcher Watson, fanned a dozen Trojan hitters and walked just two. We played real good defense,” said Trojan coach Ted Overton, We just couldn’t bit the ball.” Overton added, This was the best pitching we’ve seen all year. Wat son’s got a fast ball that won’t quit.” The Trojans managed just 2 hits in the game, a single by Anderson and the double by Sired. Bear Grass cracked out 8 hits and committed 1 mistake.
