vices for students from

By Richard Youmans
Dewey Capps, Elon’s
big right-hander, allow
ed only one basehit,
struck out 13 batters,
and got the only extra
base hit of the ballgame,
leading Elon to victory
over Atlantic Christian.
Capps combined a good
curveball, overpowering
fastball, and plenty of de
termination, in setting the
Atlantic Christian batters
down, one after the other.
Capps did not allow a
baserunner, until the fif
th inning, when he hit
Jim Robinson with a pitch.
Robinson did not stay on
the bases long, as Bob
Speight hit into a double-
play.
Elon started the scor
ing first in the bottom half
of the first inning. Terry
Williams walked and when
Jim Arrington came to
bat, Randy Spear, AC
pitcher attemped to pick-
off Williams at first,
but the throw to first
was low in the dirt and
got by the first base
man. Williams took off
to second and then start
ed to third base. The
first baseman, Jim Ro
binson, made a poor throw
to third and the ball skip
ped by the third baseman,
enabling Williams to
score on the play.
Elon scored one run
in the second on a base
hit by Joe Rinaca, a long
flyball to center by Rick
Smith, enabling Rinaca to
advance to second. Mel
Cliborne singled and Rin
aca came in to score,
making the score after
two complete innings of
play, 2-0.
The Christians scored
three additional runs in
the third innings, on four
walks, a fielder’s choice
play, one hit battsman,
and an error by Atlantic
Christian.
Elon scored two runs
in the bottom of the fifth,
Rinaca led the Inning
off with a basehit and
went to second when the
Atlantic Christian pitch
er balked. Rick Smith,
once again hit a deep
flyball to center, enab
ling Rinaca to go over
to third. Jim Hourigan
walked, making it runners
on first and third, with
two outs. Drake put the
“trap” steal on, and Will
iams broke for second and
stopped, drawing the
throw from the Atlantic
Christian catcher. Bob
Speight. When the throw
was cut-off by the short
stop, Rinaca dashed
home, being credited with
stealing homeplate. Hou
rigan was also safe at
second, and then Dewey
Capps helped his own
cause, when he lined a
double to right- center,
enabling Hourigan to
score.
Capps lost his no-hit-
ter in the top of the se
venth. With two outs, Ron
Hopkins hit a bloop ball
over second, and both
Rinaca and Rick Smith
made diving attempts to
catch the ball, but it fell
just short of Rinaca’s out
stretched glove. Capps
then struck out Jim Ro
binson to end the inning.
Elon scored three addi
tional runs in the seven
th inning, making the
score 10-0. Joe Rinaca
and Mel Cliborne led the
Elon hitting attack. Rin
aca had two and Cliborne
three.
