Eight Football
Games Slated
day. May 14, and the final action
of the year will see the Lions
tangle with Belmont Abbey there
on May 20 in a pair of once-post
poned games.
The team split a doubleheader
Wednesday with Milligan on the
Tennesseans’ diamond. Milligan
copped the first game 5-1, but the
Lions came back to take the sec
ond game 9-1.
Jack Hughes started for Mars
Hill in the opener, but gave way
to Dave Livengood in the third.
Livengood pitched good ball the
rest of the way.
Don Love, ace righthander of
the staff, went all the way in the
second game. The defeat by the
Lions was only the fourth for
Milligan in 20 games this season.
After defeating Hiwassee
(Tenn.) 5-4 on Apr. 17 for their
third straight victory, the Lions
returned home to tackle a strong
Western Carolina squad on Apr.
20. They suffered their first de
feat, a 6-0 shutout.
The “Hendersonmen” got back
into winning form last Saturday
(Apr. 25) with a 14-2 win over
MaryviUe.
Against the WCC Catamounts
the Lions were able to collect
only two hits as compared to the
visitors’ six. WCC pushed four
runs across in the third inning
and picked up single tallies in the
fifth and eighth innings.
The Lions’ only threat occurred
in the second inning when out
fielder Joe Dunn singled after
Chris Harman had flied to cen
ter. Following shortstop Ken
Maynor’s deep fly to right field,
Dickie Hale reached base on an
error and pitcher Don Love re
ceived a base on balls. Third
sacker Moe Richardson lined what
appeared to be a sure base hit,
but WCC’s Danny Jones made a
good play and threw Richardson
out.
Bouncing back against Mary
ville last Saturday, the Lions
banged out a total of 18 hits.
Every player hit safely at least
once. They picked up four runs
in the first and were never head
ed.
Righthander Love went the
distance for the Lions, allowing
seven hits. He lost his bid for a
shutout in the seventh when two
Scottie runners scored on three
base hits.
The Lion attack has seen some
potent hitting thus far. As a
team, the Lions hit at a .306 clip
in the first five games. Second
baseban Lou HUl leads all batters
with a lofty .389. Following close
ly were first baseman Larry Hon
eycutt at .381, Dunn at .333, May-
nor and Hale at .318 and Richard
son at .304.
