Page 6 The Lance Friday, May 13. 19m Bill Etches A Masterpiece By DWAYNE SNOWDEN The highlight of the 1983 baseball season belongs to Bill Etchison, who tossed a • no-hitter against Pembroke State in a 2-0 Knight victory. The game marked Etchison’s final career start as he closed the year with a 4-1 mark. The Charlotte native bare ly missed pitching a perfect game, by walking two and hitting another Pembroke batter. Etchison, who relys mainly on fastballs and sliders, could only manage one strikeout, but kept the Brave batters knocking the ball on the ground. “I was trying to keep everything low and they kept hitting grounders and popups,” said Etchison. Generally as a no-hit game progresses, the pressure not only mounts on the pitcher but on his teammates also. Etchison credited his team mates for coming up with some big plays. “The players in the field made some great plays. Dyke Ansted and Gary Barfield made some great plays on groundballs,” he said. “On one particular chop per, Chuck Scott managed to barely throw the Pembroke baserynner out.” The Pembroke State team is probably very happy about Etchison’s graduation. Last year, he hurled a three-hitter Wins President's Cup against the Braves in seven innings of play. “I thought about the no hitter all through the game. Btit in the seventh I really started thinking about going for it. I was just saying to myself six more outs and throw strikes. It’s unreal,” said Etchison. The victory had- evened St. Andrews’ record but the Knights droped their final two conference games to finish 13-15. Although the team didn’t finish as strong as it ex pected, it can take pride in its play, especially that of Bill Etchison who saved his best for last.

This is the fourth straight year that St. Andrews has won the Cup, making the college the only recipient of the award since it was established four years ago by the DIAC. This year’s race came down to the wire, finally being decided by a postponed regular season baseball game between Christopher Newport College and North Carolina Wesleyan College. Had Christopher Newport defeated North Carolina Wesleyan that would have given CNC a share of third place in the baseball standings and would have forced St. Andrews to share the Cup with CNC. However, St. Andrews won the Cup outright, edging CNC in the final total points by 1.5 points.
