Catcher Gasldns
Breaks up Extra
Inning Contest
Bill McColter Tops Dudley
As Blue and Gold Power
Whips Beaufort Strategy
By Fred Miller
Alliance ? With t\Vo oijt and two
on, catcher Lou Gaskins stepped
into Don Dudley's straight fastball
and rifled it on a line to deep cen
terfield, breaking up a pitching
duel and giving Alliance a melo
dramatic 4-3 extra-inning victory
over Beaufort here Tuesday after
noon.
After big Blue and Gold first
baseman Hubert Buck had skied
to Rutty Rhue in centerfield for
the second out. it appeared that
righthander Dudley might weather
the storm. But chunky Gaskins,
who had struck out on two pre
vious trips, thought different as
he laced the first pitch to deep
light, chasing in rightfielder Jerry
Morris with the winning run.
It was Alliance power against
Beaufort strategy, and with the
chips on the table, slugging paid
off. Featuring five consecutive
left-handed long ball hitters, Coach
Lynn Parker's nine rapped out
nine hits to Beaufort's five, includ
ing a double and a triple.
Morris Mauls Pill
Leading the Alliance hit parade
were outfielders Morris with 2-3
and Dick Hudson who knocked out
2-4. Stocky left-handed swinger,
Morris, scoring the winning run
after starting the eighth inning
with a single, also poled a long
double to dead leftfield in the
third to drive in a run.
First-sacker Lewis Woodard was
the only Sea Dog to collect two
safeties. He was a one-man gang,
clubbing two singles, while bat
ting in a run. scored once, and
stole two bases.
The eighth inning victory was
justifiably sweet for Alliance
righthander Bill McCotter -Who
had slightly the better of the
mound duel. In going the route,
he whiffed nine and walked only
three, despite a slow start.
Warming up as the innings pro
gressed, he started unveiling a
smoking fastball, and didn't leave
a Sea Dog on base in the final
three frames. And for curveball
specialist. Dudley, the loss was ex- j
tremely disheartening. He fanned
six and walked four in his very
creditable first start of the season.
Beaufort Begins Fast
Beaufort opened fast, garnering
singletons in the first two innings,
but Alliance came back with a
three run third to take the lead.
The Sea Dogs, however, tied it up
with another run in the fifth.
After Billy Eudy was called out
on a third strike curveball, Wood
ard lined a bingle over short and
took second on lanky Rhue's poke
in the same hole between third and
short. Both runners advanced
when McCotter's outside fastbalL
got by catcher Gaskins. Then, aft
er cleanup-man Johnny Lynch
struck out swinging, Woodard tore
in home, in a cloud of dust, to
score before amazed McCotter
could get rid of the ball.
In the second, Jimmy Parkins
blooped one into short left and
galloped into second with time to
spare, when Bob Edgerton just
missed a shoe-string catch. Clyde
Owens fanned on a high fastball,
but Ed Powell squeezed Parkins
in on a well-placed bunt down the
third base line.
Again Beaufort used a squeeze
to score in the fifth. Powell got
a life when shortstop Pat McCot

took third on Dudley's grounder to

sacrifice.
Good Galloping
Alliance combined heady base
running with a double and a sin
gle, and two walks to tally three
times in the big third. Following
Hudson's grounder to Parkins,
pitcher Bill McCotter rapped a
liner through short, and strolled to
third on successive walks to broth
er Pat and slugger Hex Bennett.
Bob Edgerton then plated thtfXfcb*

Dudley. No attempt was made to
get B. McCotter at the plate ? the
play being at first base. P. Mc
Cotter. never stopping, continued
around third and slid under Wood
ard's relay to catcher B. G. O'Neal.
And while all attention was riv
eted to home plate, Edgerton jog
ged to second, and came in later
on Morris' long wallop to deep
left.
Dudley blanked the hard-hitting
Blue and Gold crew the next three
innings to send the game into an
extra inning. And he continued
to sail along smoothly until nem
esis Morris whacked a long single
to right with one out. John Jahagan
followed with a blast in the same
spot to advance Morris.
Unnerved by the successive hits,
Dudley then wild-pitched both run
ners ahead. However, with second
and third occupied, he bore down
to get Buck on a high fly to short
centerfield, which set the stage
for Gaskins' winning blast.
Diamond Sidelights
A run that dampened Beaufort's
spirit more than Gaskins* eighth
inning long single, was Edgerton's
third inning trickier to the box.
One run wasn't enough for hun
gry Pat McCotter, who scampered

Morehead Budget Allows
$85 Per Week for Players
1/
Here is the 1951 Morehead City baseball club budget
that allows approximately $85 per week to be spent for
players after subtracting total expenses, other than sal
aries, from season expenses. Though figures are esti
mates, the report is published by THE NEWS-TIMES in
the hope that it may prove beneficial to other Tidewater
semi-pro clubs, in drawing up bud
gets to help stay out of the red.
1. Estimated income from sourc
es other than gate receipts: from
drink concession. $300; from sale
of fence space, $300; making a to
tal of $600.
2. Estimated expenses based on
reports of MacDonald Willis, Skip
Willis, Joe Guthrie, and others on
last year's outgo: by the week,
$150; for the 15-week season, $2,
250.
3. Subtracting one (1) from two
(2) above, gives $1650 as the esti
mated amount needed from special
contributions. Based on the 15
week season, it means $110 per
week.
4. This $110 per week helps to
meet the following expenses:

5. In addition, it is estimated
that the following sums will have
to be spent before the season be
gins: for grandstand, $100; for
screen, fence, dugout, $100; for
ball caps, socks, etc., $35; making
a total of $235.
6. Combining pre season expens
es (5) and weekly expenses (4)
we have total expenses other than
salaries of $977.50.
7. Subtracting total expenses
other than salaries (6) from esti
mated season expenses (2), or
$977.50 from $2250, we have $1,
272.50, the estimated amount t
vailable (or player salaries. This
sum breaks down to $84.83 per
week for players.
8. Thus, if pre-season and weekly
expenses are as estimated, if the
fence and concession stand produce
as expected, and if the steering
committee collects $110 per week,
$85 per week remains to spend
for all ball players.
This report does not consider
post season playoffs. Also, all
gate receipts will be split among
the players.

Stovall announced that another
club meeting will be held at 7:30
