crossing it with runs.
Lone bright spot in the Jays'
firmament that night was the
fact that Jack Hussey, who had
hit safely in 26 previous games. <
failed to gather a sarety. He |
was joined in the ranks of the '
Goldsboro hitless moaners by r
second sacker Salver (who was
walked five times) and shortstop
Jackson.
Otherwise. Venclewicz, Carl
ton and Herb May (who hurled
the better part of the last two ·
innings) were free with base
knocks and resulting tallies.
Herring whiffed 11 Roanoke

Saturday
ROANOKE RAPIDS 2
WILSON 1
Glenn Titus nad Joe Ferra ρ·<■
vided the pitching and battin
punch Saturday night as mort
than 1.200 cheering fans saw the
Jays put on a stellar exhibition
of baseball to defeat the Wilson
Tobs 2 to 1 in a ten inning
contest.
Titus turned back the Tobs
with only four hits, two in the
first and two in the third. Lefty
Glenn, who recently became a
father, pitched seven consecu
tive hitless innings and eight
hitless innings during his ten in
ning mound stint.
Ferra planted one over the
deep centerfield fence in the
first inning for a home run to
give the Jays a lead and then
in the tenth inning drove a siz
zler out to right field for a
double which scored Titus with
the winning run.
Titus received beautiful a up
port from all of his teammates
in pitching the victory. There
wasn't an error or a miscue be
hind him during the ball game.
Shurley Hammack played one of
his best games of the year at
shortstop, while Herb May in
left field made some great catch
es of well hit balls. May robbed
the Tobs' Moss of what seemed
a sure hit in the tenth inning
as he ran hard to his left to pull
down one that was lebeled tri
ple.
A righthander named Peeler
was on the mound for the Tobs
and in the first inning received
a warm welcome, but after that
until the tenth he pretty well
handcuffed the Jays. In the
first, Peeler was throwing what
appeared to be his best fast
ball and the first man at bat,
Joe Bolick, slammed one of the
high hard ones to deep center
field, but Gay pulled it down.
Joe Ferra strode to the plate
and blasted the first pitch over
the centerfield wall for a home
run. Then Gonzalez, who return
ed to the lineup Saturday night
after an absence of a week,
slammed another one deep to
centerfield and Gay dropped it.
Herb May grounded out and
Woody Gray walked on four
pitches. Peeler changed his tac
tics and began throwing a slow
teasing curve and struck out
John Pavlich to end the inning.
From there until the tenth in
ning, when Peeler weakened, the
Tob chunker teased the Jays
with a slow curve ball that
couldn't be hit very far and
fans wondered why he wasn't
knocked out of the box early in
the ball game. He gave the Jays
six hits during the contest.
The Tobs tied it up in the third
inning as Dickens drove one to
deep short and beat out the
throw and then stole second as
John Pavlich waited for some
one to get to the base to take
the throw. Pavlich's throw was
there, but it was too late. Wolfe,
after Rehm had grounded out,
singled to leftfield and Dickens
scored as Stu Martin cut off
the throw and pegged to Bolick
to trap Wolfe between first and
second. Wolfe was fun down by
Gonzalez to end the inning.
The Jays had an opportunity
to go ahead in the fourth in
ning, but lady luck was against
them. Gray doubled down the
first base line and went to third
on a wild pitch. Pavlich dropped
one into short centerfield and
Gay made a beautiful running
catch. Martin walked for the
second straight time and then
Hammack drove a hard hit
Gray was nipped while trying
to slid home. Hammack pulled
up safe at first. Titus singled
to right and Wolfe made a beau
tiful throw to nip Martin as he
came sliding into home to end
the inning.
The Jays finally iced the ball
game in the bottom of the tenth
they began to solve Peeler's
iing slants.
Hammack led off by ground
ing out to shortstop. Then Titus
got hold of one and slammed
it into left field and it rolled
into the corner while Glenn wgs
pulling up at second. Bolick
grounded out and then Joe Fer
ra slammed his double into
rightfield to end the ball game.
The line score:
R'n Rapids 100 000 000 1 2 β 0
Wilson 001 000 000 0 1 4 2
Titus and Pavlich; Peeler and
Ehlman.

ROANOKE RAPIDS 7,
WILSON 5.
Sunday afternoon in Wilson
ι the Jays made it three straight
i victories when they jumped on
; hurlers Pittman, Nordmeyer and
' cousin Peeler for seven runs and
' the ball game.
! Three of the counters came in
ι the ninth inning and proved the
margin of victory. The uprising
began when John Pavlich opened
with a double and Martin's sin
gle promptly drove him home.
This tied the score at 5-all. Then
[ there were two force outs, fol
[ lowing which Bolick doubled to
put runners on second and third.
Shortstop Rehm then bobbled
Ferra's grounder and the two
runners came romping home with
the winning runs.
Pete King struck out three
, men and Titus, who replaced him
and got credit for the win, fanned
one.
Wilson's leftfielder Moss hit
a home run for the Tobs.
