Knapp team, 7-6, on the local field.
Brad Hurdle, who relieved Tim

was credited with his second win of
the young season. He also won with
? his bat, as he knocked in Rodney
Lyons, who had doubled, with the
winning run of the seventh inning.
Hurdle, Todd Hunter, and Kent
Gillispie all had two hits to lead the
Union team, which is now 3-0 on the
season.
Knapp's record falls to 1-4. Both
games next week are home, Monday
against Gates and Wednesday versus
Ahoskie. Game time is 4 p.m. at the

some nice bass and catfish being
taken.
Down at the beach, the bluefish are
still hitting the beach with some
regularity and most of them are
really nice, eight to twelve pound
class. There have been some reliable
reports made that bring the good
news that several drum have been
taken in the area of Ocracoke and
just south of the point at Hatteras.
