1 With seven games gone and
jBiir of them chalked as wins and
as losses, the Elon basebaU
;ad has been strictly on the
«hot ’ and "cold” list when it
came to hitting. In some games
th, Christians have hit timely and
^ell. and in others they could
BO- buy a safety.
[Buddy Montgomery, speedy
\-hman center fielder, is lead-
L the regulars with a .348 aver-
igi on 8 hits in 23 attempts. Two
players are topping him in
n averages, but neither has been
to the plate as much as 10 times,
'in addition to Montgomery, fovir
ollier play-ers are in the magic
or better circle, with Tom
pperson. Charlie Frye, Gil
Watts and Don Lichok among the
-t consistent men with the stick
far.
jMontgomery is also leading the
nstians in runs-batted-in with
7j‘in homers with 3 and in stolen
W'ith4. Gil Watts tops the
pitchers with a pair of wins,

seven games is as follows;

' Toj) Pirates
In 6-0 Tilt
The Elon baseballers jolted tiie
titular hopes ot East Carolina’s
Pirates here Saturday afternoon,
Vpril 6th, wirh a decisive 6 to 0
victory in a North State Confer
ence baseball battle. The win ev
ened Elon's loop mark at l-I and
marred the Pirates’ record with a
defeat in their very first defense
of the champion.ship they won
laft year.
Gil Watts, the sophomore right
hander from Laurinburg, who let-
:pred for Elon as a freshman la.st
spring, literally kept the Pirate
hitters handcuffed all the after
noon, letting them down wiih four
lits while striking out five and
■valkiiig none.
The Laurinburg lad had the sit
uation well in hand most of the
day, although he did give bis
hristian supporters an anxious
•noment or two in the first frame
vhen he walked two with one out.
However, he retired the side with-
vjt a score, and there was never
iiore than one Pirate on the cush
ions in any one inning after that
■ime. He scattered his four safe-
ies for not more than one in
in'4le frame.
The C\iri.-.tians themselves iced
the game in the fourth, when
Charlie Frye singled. Buddy Mont-
gcmcry homered for two. Buddy
Way singled, Gil Watts walked
and Tom Shepperson singled a
third run over the plate. That was
the ball game, although the Elon
lads added frostiag to the cake
j'Ailli three added runs in the sev
enth on a Pirate error and a trio
of singles by Charlie Frye, Don
Lichok and Ted Eanes.
There were four of the Chris
tians with two hits, led by Mont
gomery’s homer and single. Frye
and Way had a double and sin
gle, and Shepperson paired sin
gles on successive times at the
plate. Bucky Reep topped the Pi
rates with a double.
