Rebels Lose
Opener
Davie lost its season's open
er with Rockwell Wednesday
afternoon 3-2, but they app
arently have the makings of
an excellent team. The hitting
looked fairly good and was
scattered throughout the line
up, and it was apparent that
they will be hitting the long
ball frequently. The Rebels took
the lead in the opening frame
when, after two were out, Mac
kie Deadmon and Lester Allen
hit back to back triples. In
the top of the third. . Clarence
Driver singled to right, advanc
ed to second on Leonard Shel
ton's single, went to third on
an error, and scored on Mack-
ie Deadmon s sacrifice fly to
give the school a 2-0 lead, but
they were unable to hold it.
Rockwell broke through in the
fourth to tie the score, on a
scratch hit, a fielder's choice,
a base on balls, and two cost
ly errors, and added the winn
ing run in the. fifth on abouble
by Smith and singles by Hol-
houser and Morgan. Smith was
the winning pitcher, while
Allen Bailey was given the
loss. Mackie Deadmon and Leo
nard Shelton led the hitting
with two for three each.
The Davie Pitching staff
showed a surprising amount
of talent, with starting pitcher
Driver striking out five of the
six men he faced. II. T. Meron
ey also showed he has improv
ed giving up only one puncn
hit in two innings he work
ed. Allen Bailey had some
trouble at first, but he soon
Settled down and pitched his
way out of both innings, al
though he was touched for a
'iin in the fifth. j
In general the team appears
well balanced, and should be
able to hold its own in the con
ference. SUMMARY
