i ops again
Waynesville High's never-say-die
baseballcrs staged a strong
comeback Friday afternoon at
Mountaineer Stadium and beat
Asheville High School, 6-4, in one
of the most thrilling games ever
seen in this part of the state.
' The game was a real storybook
finish with Jimmy Kuykendall
providing the winning punch by
hitting a grand slammer in the
11th inning. Roger Calvin, Maroon
Devil lefty, who had pitched a
superb game, really blew sky high
in that inning.
With Waynesville behind 2-4
Ralph Jenkins started the big in
ning by walking. Bobby Kuyken
dall lined to left for the first out,
Jenkins holding first. Jenkins
strayed too far olT on the next
pitch to J. C. DeWeese, pinch-hit-ting
for Carol Swanger, and was
picked off by Diet?. That made two
Mountaineers out. DeWeese work
ed Calvin for the first of the left
hander's three costly walks. Terry
Swanger and Bill Sutton followed
suit, loading the sacks. Jimmy
Kuykendall had a count of one and
one on him, then promptly belted
the iiex( pitch into the far right
field. He scored easily after his
teammates
Though yielding eight safeties,
Ralph Jenkins, Mountaineer curve
bailer, went all the way, and with
some excellent support pitched a
fine game.
The game was nip and tuck at
the start, with Asheville tallying
single runs in the first and third.
Waynesville tied things up in their
half of the fourth when they mark
ed two tallies on a hit batsman, C.
Swanger's sacrifice hunt, Terry
Swanger's double, and Jimmy Kuy
kendall's single.
The game went into extra in
ning and in the tenth Asheville
put two men on, but Jenkins
tightened down and held them
scoreless. Roger Calvin, Asheville's
fine.,., lefty, got the Mountaineers
out in their half of the tenth.
The Maroon Devils tore loose in
their half of the eleventh. Dietz
led off with a ringing single, stole
second and scored on Landers'
single. Sorrell, who had not had
a hii, followed with the third sin
gle f the stanza, scoring Landers.
Thoi Jdaroons loomed a big two
runs ahead, especially big after
the -Mountaineers had made two
outs in the eleventh. Then came
the three straight free tickets and
Jimmy Kuykendall's game-winning
homer.
The Mountaineers played fine
defensive ball, committing only
two errors in the long : battle.
These did no damage, though. The
outfield of T. Swanger, and Bobby
and Jimmy Kuykendall came
through for Jenkins in fine style
by pulling in would-be hits from
the bats of the power-hitting Ma
roons. Dietz, the fine backstop.
lined out twice to left and center.
He and Calvin led the Asheville
nine at bat, with 2 for 4 and 2 for
2 respectively.
The Mountaineer infield choked
off several Asheville rallies and
showed up . well. Perk Fugate
caught a whale of a game, spark
ing the team on defense. He did
not get a hit, but handled the ball
well and drew one walk.
The game was the longest, and
easily the best, played this year.
The Waynesville squad seemed
never to give up, though they were
playing against some strong com
petition. Asheville is by far the
most powerful team the Mountain
eers have faced this year.
The two teams hook up again
next Friday afternon at Asheville.

Protectina their unbeaten rec
ord for the 1951 baseball season
will leave Waynesville's Mountain
eers no time for a deep breath
this week. With one non-confer
ence and three conference games
on the ticket, Coach Teague's
baseballers figure to need all their
hurling and slugging ability.
Today's home game with Ben
Lippen School for Boys could be a
mound duel between Carl Chastain
and Jimmy Kuykendall, Chastain's
pitching has been much in evid
ence as the Little Deacons stayed
on the credit side of the ledger;
and Kuykendall will be out to add
another to his record of three
straight wins, with no losses.
Men Lippen brought home the
bacon in the form of the Blue
Ridge "Conference trophy in 1950;
and the Mountaineers' next foe,
Christ School, showed the same
knack of bagging the groceries in
1949. The Mountaineers take to
the road Tuesday to meet the
Greenies at Arden. Christ School,
coached by Dick Fayssoux. always
comes up with a fine baseball
squad, and this year's is no excep
tion. Tudor Hill is the Greenies'
pitching genius.
On Thursday afternoon, Brev
ard's Blue Devils will entertain the
Mountaineers in what will definite
ly not be a tea party. This is the
second meeting of the season be
tween the two teams, Waynesville
having trounced Brevard at
Waynesville 10-0 on Jimmy Kuy
kendall's one-hitter three weeks
ago.
The Blue aggregation has im
proved considerably since the
drubbing given them hy the
Mountaineers, Peterson, ace of the
Brevard mound staff, twirled a
four-hitler at Tryon, after stopping
Canton High on three hits. The
Brevardites have some good hit
lers in Bob Reid, clever backstop;
Graham Grant, fleet outfielder;
and Carl Compton, alert third base
man. . .
Coach Teague, a Brevard prod
uct himself, wants this game in
the win column for his Mountain
eers. Last year his team dropped
two Brevard games, and he would
like to square matters before his
homefolks.
Ralph Jenkins will toe the
mound for Waynesville, and Perk
Fugate will receive.
Friday's return bout with Ashe
ville High should see both teams
ready for some hot action.
