Little League Through
A Looking Glass
By C. Ray Dudley
When the 1977 season gets
underway, the only thing that
will be changed will be the of
ficial name and base running
rule—you cannot steal home as
long as there’s a pitcher-catcher
exchange. That is as long as the
pitcher and the catcher receives
and delivers the ball.
The Spirit of 76 Little League
was billed as great and exciting.
The ‘77 season is building tq> to
be even better than that. Last
season the homerun kings never
did totally dominate because the
pitching was extremely tough.
Only Michael Gibbs reigned over
the rest of the gang. The game
that began Grantsboro on the
road to success was against
Stonewall. Grantsboro escaped
9- 6 but not before Diane Jones
slammed a three run
homer—the first of the year over
the wall of the so called “green
monster.” Grantsboro superior
base running gave them the
league’s edge. Grantsboro
tallied a total of 60 stolen bases
home the entire year.
Another classic was the Orien
tal versus Hobucken game. Well,
Michael Gibbs of Oriental saved
the game by batting three
homers in a 12-11 thriller.
Even though last season got
finished before going into
August, rain and bad weather
played a major role in the Little
League program. The cham
pionship game between Bayboro
and Grantsboro had been billed
the most exciting game
throughout the season. Weil
Grantsboro’s Rattlers reigned
twice during the regular season,
10- 0 and 2-1 pitching played the
most important part. Reggie
Beasley never played against
Grantsboro in the first game but
played in a 2-1 loss the second
game. Grantsboro scored a total
of 139 runs to their opponents’ 39
while Bayboro scored 133 runs to
their opponents’ 62.
The Arapahoe versus
Reelsboro game was supposed to
be the evenly matched game
since both teams hadn’t won a
game. To everyone’s surprise,
Arapahoe totally
dominated—giving Reelsboro
one hit and one run in a 14-1 vic
tory. This ‘77 season should put
both Arapahoe and Reelsboro
again evenly matched but in a
different perspective—either of
them should take the league this
year. Both teams are returning
all of their power.
Bayboro was never as consis
tent as Grantsboro was. They
were up and down throughout
the season—barely winning or
just enough to get by—just as N.
C. State did when they won the
1974 NCAA Basketball Cham

pionship. Vandemere totally
dominated Bayboro both times
they played. Vandemere won the
first 17-12 and lost the second one
in a squeaker 10-9.
Michael Gibbs of Oriental hit
two home runs in a game against
Reelsboro, One was a grand
slam, the first and only one of
the year in a 22-6 win.
In a game (Reelsboro vs
Vandemere) that matched hit
ting power more than pitching
skill, Vandemere was able to
take advantage of a sixth inning
rally to hold off starved
Reelsboro 21-20. It was one of the
highest scoring games between
two teams—a total of 41 runs.
The second meeting between
Bayboro and Hobucken marked
the first no-hitter of the year in a
9-2 victory for Bayboro with
Reginal Beasley taking the
game.
When Stonewall and Oriental
met the second time, Oriental
went into the game with
everything they had. Fireball
pitcher Mike Gibbs of Oriental
whizzed the ball but came up on
the short end with Maurice
Stokes taking the game 8-7.
The second time Oriental and
Arapahoe met, Coach Purser’s
key to strategy was to walk Mike
Gibbs of Oriental four times and
it almost back-fired when Alston
Spruill hit a three run homer but
not enough as Arapahoe upset
Oriental 12-11. In the first game
Gibbs was intentionally walked
three times in a 7-2 win for
Arapahoe as they swept both
games. Hobucken definitely was
waiting this time for revenge
against Stonewall. It was
Stonewall on top (working the
wood) in a 11-9 thriller. The se
cond go round with Arapahoe
versus Bayboro put Bayboro in
total command as Chester Scott
sent Arapahoe fans screaming
with despair with two back to
back home runs in a 17-10 win.
The playoffs displayed
Pamlico County’s greatest
talent. When Grantsboro took on
Reelsboro, it was rumored
Grantsboro was tuning up for
bigger and better games. Harry
Ireland took charge for Grant
sboro in a 180 no hit, shut out
win.
Oriental went with pitcher's
ace Mike Gibbs to hold Stonewall
to three hits and no runs in a 4-0
shutout. Stonewall had the best
hitting power in the league but
not this night. Bayboro third go
round with Arapahoe found
Bayboro taking command once
again in a 12-2 win. The
semifinal match with Grant
sboro and Hobucken saw one or
two things: (1) Had Hobucken
gotten better or (2) Had Grant
sboro looked passed Hobucken
or (3) Had Grantsboro lost some
of their glitter. Hobucken
desperately tried to pull it off
before coming up short 5-4.
Bayboro took Oriental down to
the water and gave them an old
fashioned bath but not before
Oriental’s Mike Gibbs hit a cou
ple of triples. Bayboro took ad
vantage of 16 walks. All they did
was to stand up at bat and fake
the bunt in a 11-7 win. Batting
averages weren’t that high in ‘76
due to the extremely great pit
ching in the league. Whether this
may be the fact in ‘77 remains to
be seen.
The 1976 Championship game
had all the glamour of the Major
League Baseball Championship.
One team had nothing to lose
while one had everything to win
(gain). Grantsboro held a 2-0
sweep against Bayboro during
the regular season. The stage
was set and the actors took to the
field. It went down to the ninth
inning. The nominees for the
1976 Little League Playoffs were
Bayboro (13-3) second in the
regular season play and Grant
sboro (160) and regular season
Champions. Grantsboro was a
2-1 favorite in defeating Bayboro
twice during the regular season.
The envelope was handed and
the winner was by a 2-0 decision
the 1976 winner was none other
than Bayboro.
All of the envelopes are on hold
for the ‘77 season. Arapahoe and
Reelsboro who have both set
back for the past couple of vears
and laughed at both have their
eyes on the Championship by
returning most of their playerss
back with a lot of maturnity.
Stonewall would like to reclaim
what was theirs so long and so
many years, the championship.
Bayboro will be going through a
rebuilding state while Hobucken
will be hoping to iron out some of
their defensive problems of a
year ago. Vandemere will like to
continue where they left off last
year on .a win streat. Oriental
will lack Mike Gibbs who
powered the ball over the wall
last year and will have to look
for some sort of compensation.
Grantsboro, like Bayboro will be
going through a rebuilding state.
All in all the ‘77 season promises
a lot of excitement. Come on out
and support the ‘77 season of the
Little Pamlico League. It’s up to
you for the success of the pro
gram!

Correction
First of all let me make a cor
rection concerning the sunrise
service held in Lou Mac Park on
Easter Sunday morning. The
typist or the print-setter, or so
meone else, left out one sentence
of my copy, namely Rev.
Chandler of the Free Will Bap
tist Church brought the invoca
tion and Rev. David Lupton of
the United Methodist Church
brought the message on Easter.
This sentence was omitted-Rev.
Michael Oliver of the First Bap
tist Church led the singing. It
was truly a community affair
and indeed a beautiful thing.

Return From New York
The 39ers had their trip to New
York and back after four days of
travelling, sight seeing and at
tending several shoes and shopp
ing, etc.
Some of the shows enjoyed
were the musical, Shenandoah,
Bubbling Brown Sugar and the
Rockettes at Radio City Music
Hall. The latter was the last
showing of their Easter per
formance. They also saw the
new summer show called
Mother Goose. The movie play
ing there that morning was The
Littlest Horse Thieves, a Disney
production.
This is a complete list of those
making the trip: Inez Hargrove,
Mary Ben Craven, Sue Ragan,
Renee Ragan, Louise Oldham,
Norma Smith, Helen Eubanks,
Betsy Thompson, Fay and John
Bond, Sadie Paul, Helen
Stephens, Martha Spruill,
Catherine Spruill, Nina Dixon,

Th^y visited the Statute of
Liberty during their tour of the
city and cruised on the Staten
Island Ferry. They had dinner
one night at Mama Leone’s
Restaurant and another night at
the Pub at Alvin Theater. On the
way home they stopped over in
Washington, D.C. and took time
to visit the Smothsonian In
stitute and Museum, then made
another stop at Mount Vernon. It
was a wonderful trip with a most
congenial crowd. Everyone had
a wonderful time.
It was good to get back home
on Friday night and to smell the
fresh air and the aroma of
pyrocanthes blossoms and holly
trees blooming. The azaleas
were fading but the roses were in
full bloom. Saturday was a
beautiful day and the sail boats
dotting the beautiful River
Neuse made us appreciate our
beautiful town again.
Sunday Services
Sunday services in the chur
ches were doubtful, due to the
advance in time. Some failed to
run their clocks ahead and went
to Sunday School in time for
church.
The morning worship in First
Baptist was led by the pastor,
Rev. Michael Oliver. His
message was “The Price That
Was Paid,” answering the ques
tion, “What did it cost Jesus to
redeem my soul from sin .” He
quoted many scriptures,
answering the question. (1) The
first payment was coming from,
heaven to the manger (2) Bear
ing the three temptations (3) His
lonely life (4) His death on the
cross. The agony, the suffering,
the pain of that day cannot be
described. Yes, he said, Jesus
paid a great price. He quoted
two beautiful poems and ended
with the question of his hearers,
“Have you given Him the receipt
for what He paid for you.. ” The
pastor also gave special music,
“His Eye is on the Sparrow” and
“God Did a Wonderful Thing for
me When He Took All My Sins
Away.”
Attended Funerals In New Bern
Two funerals on Tuesday took
many of our residents to New
Bern to express their sympathy
to the Styron family for the
burial of Mary Louise Styron Ed
