Blue Devils Lose To Tuscola,
Edge Black Hawks In Thriller
The Brevard Blue Devils, cur
rently in a battle tor first place
in the Parkway Di\dsion of the
Mountain Athletic Conference,
bounced back strong Tuesday
afternoon to shade North Bun
combe 6-5.
The Blue Devils lost some of
their grip on first place last
Saturday when they traveled to
Tuscola and dropped their first
y conference game of the season
to the Mounties by a 10-2 mar
gin.
In that one, Tuscola’s Taylor
Latham pitched his Mountie
mates to victory, keeping the
Blue Devils pretty much in
check most of the way. Tuscola
scored four big runs in the
t&ird inning, added another
four in the fourth and two more
in the sixth to account for their
ten runs.
The Blue Devils scored
singletons in the fourth and
sixth innings, but that wasn’t
nearly enough. Chris Sneeden
took the loss for Brevard.
Tuesday against North Bun
combe, Brevard was down to
the Hawks 5-2 going into the
bottom of the seventh, and it
looked like the visiting Birds
were enroute to a big win over
the Blue Devils.
But it wasn’t to be, as Greg
Nelson walked, Ricky Salter hit
into a fielder’s choice, Randy
Frisbee singled and moved to
second on a passed ball, and
then Chris Sneeden singled in
two runs and went to second on
the throw, narrowing the mar
gin to 5-4.
Kevin Coan then singled
Sneeden across the plate with
the tying run, and Stan Hudson
was walked, bringing Bob Ar
nett to the plate.
Arnett then singled to drive
Coan home with the winning
run, and the Blue Devils had
wrapped up their eighth win in
ten outings, with Randy Fris
bee getting credit lor the vic
tory on the mound.
Brevard’s conference mark
now stands at 4-1, and they will
try to improve on that when
they play a big double-header
here Friday afternoon against
the Bast Henderson Eagles.
Game time for the first game
will be 3:00 p.m.

For Law Week, May lst-7th
The Brev*rd Optimist Club
joins other 110(000 members
of Optimist International in
observing Respect for Law
Week, May 1st - 7th. Through
the program, it is Imped by pos
itive leadership that citiaens
will become actively involved
in oatnheUng crime.
The Brevard Club started its
week fff by having Detective
Tinker Siniard of lS»e Brevard
Police Department speak on
crime scene investigation and
also what local citizens can do
to aid the department in pre
venting and solvirs crimes.
He stated that 75% of all
crimes in Brevard are solved
wWdh is fhr above the national
average.
“This is a credit to the law
enforcement we have in Tran
sylvania County,” dub officials
state.
It is hoped through the pro
gram that public apathy to
wards crime and disrespect for
law win he combated.
Optimists are quick to point
out that their program does
not reflect 4 btafc* endorse
ment of the practices of all law
enforcement agencies — but
does emphasise the need for
etiJaen* to demand good law
enforcement and to offer co
operation in every possible way.
