A three-run homer by Mike Wilkerson carried Carolina to a 5-1 Atlantic Coast
Conference baseball victory over Duke Sunday at Cary Boshamer Stadium. Wilkerson,
who has been hitting around .380 since the tail end of the Florida trip, broke a scoreless tie
in the fifth inning with a smash over the 362-foot sign in left field.
The win broke a three-game losing streak for the Tar Heels and lifted them out of the
ACC cellar with a 3-5 record. UNC is 14-15 overall. Carolina hosts Wake Forest in
another crucial ACC game today at 2:30 p.m. in Boshamer Stadium before traveling to
N.C. State Thursday.

"Joe has that built-in competitiveness and
attitude oj determination every coach ' is'
looking Jor. He gives me 100 per cent every
time he walks out on the court. He is what I
would like to see all oj my boys become."'
UNC Tennis Coach Don Skakle on senior
captain Joe Garcia
When Joe Garcia came to Carolina in'
1970, he was the eighth-ranked high school
player in the country, recruited by all of the .
schools in the Atlantic Coast and;
Southeastern Conferences, and from a
tennis family in which all the children of age
were nationally ranked.
Success was on the horizon.
Carolina's outstanding tennis tradition
was in good hands.
But Garcia's career has not been all roses,
headlines and trophies. A back injury,
erratic play, and a wavering self-confidence
have plagued Garcia throughout his
Carolina years.
As a freshman, the Krioxville, Tenn.
native occasionally played in the No. 6
position and was on the court No. 3 ACC
champion doubles team.
His freshman class included Rich McKee,
an eventual All-America, and Richard
Hardaway, who were the fifth and sixth
ranked high school players respectively in
the country in 1970.
The second year was a disappointment.
"1 was playing the best tennis of my life at
the start of my sophomore year, and three
?days before our first match, I sprained my
back and.! was,. out for -the-season," he
recalled.

Joe Garcia
As a junior and senior, Garcia's play
improved steadily.
He won the Tennessee men's singles
championship in 1973 and the No. 5 singles
in the ACC in 1974.
However, the consistent championship
lorm never asserted itself.
"Joe is hard on himself. The fact that he is
a slow starter doesn't help such an attitude
very much," Skakle said. "Sometimes he
expects a little too much too soon."
Due to his back injury, Garcia gained an
additional year of eligibility which he is now
using to play the No. 2 position on the squad.
His present record is 17-6, with all of his
losses going three sets.
Despite a mediocre start, Garcia, a
psychology major, believes that he is "getting
it back.""
"This . year has-, been kind of a
disappointment . thus far mainly because I
have been losing my confidence. 1 think that

my game is finally starting to come around.
With all of the success and failure in his
career, Garcia has somehow managed to rise
above it all. He has that easy-going charisma
that makes him popular with players and
fans, and he gives Carolina tennis the flair
and spunk that a more deliberate and
conservative player cannot.
"Joe is always up for matches, and when
he loses he never lets it rub off on others,
said junior Bill Brock, UNCs No. I player.
"This ability to keep everybody loose is why
he is such a good captain. Also; at
tournament time he is always there ready.
Garcia assessed, "If I play the way I am
capable of, I think that I can win the singles
and the No. 2 doubles with Earl (Hassler).
He has not lost to an ACC opponent in the
regular season, and the team is favored to
win its sixth consecutive conference crown.
"The best thing about tennis here is Coach
Skakle," Garcia commented. "He has helped
me along and given me advice when I asked
lor it, but he has never forced his opinions on
me.
"One thing that bothers me about tennis
here is that the spectators don't get behind
the players more. Fans should shout and get
excited about a good match rather than just
hold their breath at a tense moment or clap
their hands," he said.
Now that it is almost over and considering
the disappointments as well as the successes,
was it all worth it?
"1 . only wish that there could be a sixth
year," he said.
