Mulehogs Upend Anteaters in Classic Showdown By Christian Malone In an epic five-game battle, the Mulehogs came back from a 2-1 deficit to win the Cavalier World Series over the opposing Anteaters. This was possibly the best CWS ever played, featuring an extra-inning contest, three come-from-behind wins, and the first CWS to go the full five games. Victorious ■ Mulehog manager Eddy Carty exclaimed, “Oh yeah, we’re the champions! This was a heck of a series, but we proved we’re better.” The Anteaters took Game One 5-3 behind the exploits ofiightfielder Brian Lee, who drove in four runs with a two-run single and a two-run double off Seth Harrison. Anteater pitcher Everett Pittillo got out of several big jams to record the victory. Game 2 was the cl.osest of the series as hurlers Brad Harrill of the Mulehogs and Bryan Snyder of the Anteaters waged a classic duel. After the Mulehogs took a 2-0 lead, the Anteaters came back with one in the fifth, then tied it 2-2 in the eighth. Then in the bottom of the 10th, Mulehog cleanup hitter Mike Franklin laced a double to the fence in right- Junior Shane Brannock attempts a bunt to no avail during the final game of the Cavalier World Series center, scoring Daryl Bryant from first for a 3-2 win to even the series. But the Anteaters stormed right back to take Game Three 9-4. The Mulehogs had an early 3-2 lead, but it evaporated in a four-run Anteater sixth inning, and the Anteaters never looked back from there. Editor's Mailbox Dear Students, In tlie past, the school newspaper was nm by the English Department. This year however, the Aletheia has become an independent, student run newspaper. We, as the students, now linve the right to determine what we want our paper to consist of. We have the opportunity to inform one another and become a more aware body of students. This is also a chance for us to stop the infamous “minor mills” on campus before they start. As many of us know, gossip seems to be an everyday part of Montreat College life. We now have the opportunity to stop this by finding and writing the truth. Personally, I would love to see the newspaper grow and become a more powerful voice at Montreat College. This can only happen through us. I would love to see more student involvement in the newspaper. I’m sure many of you have ideas as to what the newspaper should be like. I would love for you to share those ideas. Not only am I interested in student’s input, I would also like to receive student articles and editori als. Just because someone is not on the newspaper staff does not mean that they don’t have the right to voice their opinion in tlieir own newspaper. I really want this to be seen as our newspaper. I look forward to hearing your input and working with you to make this a great newspaper. Sincerely, Arianne Frain Argentina Missions Students Thankful Before break M e asked Sophomore Dave Swanson for some refections regarding the team's experiences. Dear Editor, We arrived in Buenos Aires early Saturday morning. Our plan was to eat and then head back to the airport for our flight to our final destination. Tilings changed, however. As we ncre eating lunch at the missionary’s house (he van witli all of our stuff was stolen. Suffice it to say that we didn’t make our flight. In fact, our entire week did not go according to our plan. Instead of building a foundation for a camp in a small town, we spent the next few days mnning around Argentina’s biggest city as we tried to replace our tickets. It may seem that the focus of our time in Argentina was recovering from the robbery, but instead, our focus was turned to God to sec how he would provide for us. We were not let down. Our physical needs were met time and time again, and we also made enough friends that we were not ready to return to Montreat. We praise God for the lessons we learned, for providing for us, and for introducing us to some very special people. Dave Swanson With their backs against tlie wall, the Mulehogs jumped out to an early 3-0 lead, but it vanished in the top of the sixth. Anteater slugger Joe Snyder strode to the plate and deposited a Curtis Hughes offering into the upper stratosphere for a grand slam and a 5-3 lead. However, the Mulehogs had a big hit in their big lead. Reliever Rob Wells then shut down the Anteater bats the rest of the way, and the stage was set for Game5. In the finale, Harrill outdueled Snyder, as the Mulehogs won 6-3 to become CWS champions. Mulehog franchise player Heath Bishop said, “We hit the ball well the past two games and our pitching was great. That’s why we’re the champions.” Anteater first baseman Matt Corrado, who’d brashly predicted Anteater domi nance, said afterwards, “We could’ve kicked their tails, but they fought hard. This loss is tough to swallow.” This Weekend's Aetivities Friday, October 25 6:30 PM - Volleyball at Clinch Valley 9:00 PM - Open Mic Coffee House Gaither Fellowship Hall Saturday, October 26 1:00 PM - Wall Climbing at Camp Rockmont.
