15 Unearned Runs Sink Marine Hopes
Moody Murdered
By Own Mates
h Cold Blood
Marine Hurler's 11 Walks
Don't Help as Tidewater
Scores 17-1 Triumph
With lesa than half of their reg
ulira oh html, the Morehead City
Marines wre virtually blasted out
of the running for local softball
honors Monday night when Tide
water Power lowered the boom for
a dozen runa In the first inning
and went on to score a 17-1 tri
umph at Wade Bros. park.
The poor Marines had a ten-year
old infant at second baae (and
don't try and tell us that HE was
a marine) and a player with a
broken hand In right field. The
lad with his hand in a cast had a
devilish time of it, but he man
aged to get two of the Marines'
three hits off Tidewater hurler
Woody Kelley.
The Marines; emergency pitcher
was appropriately named Moody.
a!td while he held Tidewater to six
hits, his control was not. all that
it might have been. To.be brutal
ly frank, he walked 11 men in four
innings, and hit another. Toss in
11 efrors by his teammates and
you have IT runs on a mere half
dozea bingles.
That first inning was a horror.
Moody got the leadoff man. New
ton, on strikes, but it took him a
half hour to' get the second out.
Rice was hit by a pitch and Hodges
walked. They moved up on a wild
pitch and scored on Guthrie's sin
gle. Moody walked Laughinghouse
and Vanetten to load the bases and
then fell into Dyer straits. Three
consecutive batters hit soft rollers
at Marine third sacker Dyer, and
he loused up all three of them.
That gave Tidewater three more
runs and a 5-0 lead ? but they were
just getting warm. Rice walked to
force in another marker and
Hodges racked up two more with
a single to left. Guthrie's bouncer
to the left of the mound was
heaved into right field by Moody
and two more runs were in. Laugh
inghouse walked again and that
made 13 consecutive men that had
reached base against Moody. The
law of averages then came to
Moody's recue, and he retired the
side with just one more run scor
ing?the twelfth of the first in
ning.
The never say die Marines came
storming back in their half of the
first to score one run on Sullivan's
double, an error, and Bilis' ground
out. Ellis, before driving across
Sullivan with his bouncer, had un
successfully tried to squeeze Mm
home. Yes sir, these Marines play
scientific baseball.
Moody pitched no-run ball in the
second and third, but Tidewater
moundsman Kelley, bearing down
tO' protect his ten-run margin,
stopped the Marines with just t ?o
hits over the final three innings.
Both these bingles were garnered
by right fielder Pharia, who had
to bat one-handed because his right
hand was encased in a cast. Both
liits were bunts.
Moody was strung for five more
runs in the fourth inning when the
ten-year-old second baseman threw
away a grdDnder and the shortstop
made two fumbles. Only two ol
tidewater's 17 runs were earned,
but they all count and the loss
shoved the Marines a game-and-a
kalf behind the first place Legion
With no time in which to make up
the ground.
Not?*
Newton and Hodges picked up
two hit? apiece for Tidewater, and
Hodges, Rice, and Guthrie all
(cored three runs . . . The field
ing gem was a running grab of a
line drive by Tidewater right
fielder Burns. Burns came huffing
*nd puffins toward the foul line
to nail Moody's liner in the third.
to quote Mr. Burn?: "It surprised
hie as much as It did yo* boysf"
? . . The only doukle play of the
tame was polled off by the Ma
rines in the third. With the bases
loaded Kelley was called out on
Itrikes and catcher Ellis' throw to
third caught Laughinghouse with
his wits down . . . Tidewater first
baseman Hodges made a dandy
tioved-hand grab of Davis' hot shot
in the fourth, but it was ruled foul.
Hodges thus lived ilp to hia name,
tor Brooklyn's Gil Hodge?. I? case
