To Save Birds
From No-hits
The Duke Devils staged a virtual
marathon down at Capital City
park last Saturday afternoon when
they almost destroyed homeplate by
crossing It so many times. The
Devils slammed the ball all over the
park to make it two in a row over
the Gamecocks this time by a score
of 16 to 2.
Coach Catfish Smith sent three
pitchers to the mound to try to
stop the boys from Tar Heella, but
they kept It up throughout the
game and added up a total of 13
hits. Chuck Rudolph started on thc
mound for the Birds? and pitched
seven Innings. The visitors hopped
on Rudy in the first half of the first
when Grady Stott, cleanup hitter
for Duke slammed the first pitch tc
deep center field and Flrst Base.
man Muse trotted home for the
first run of the game with Stoti
stopping at the keystone sack. The
Birds evened it up in their part
of the third when Rudolph got life
on an error and scored when Ripley
hit a hot grounder to second base
In the next inning Duke went oui
front to stay when they scored two
runs on two hits and a couple of
Gamecock miscues. After that the
Blue Devils ran away with the con
test scoring in every inning frorm
their on out. Rudolph was relievec
by Claffy at the beginning of th<
seventh frame with two men or
base. Claffy found it hard to rench
the plate and remained In hnt water
throughout his tenure on the
mound. Brunson made his first ap
pearance on the mound for the
Gamecocks when he relieved Claffy
at the first of the last. Brunson
showed early season wildness and
retired the side only after the
Devils had tallied 3 runs. The
Dooks reached the trip of Bird
pitchers for 13 safeties, getting 11
off Rudolph, and 1 each off Clnffy
and Brunson. Pepper Howell got
the lone hit made by the Game
cocks.

Second Win Over
Jackson Raiders
The Gamecock baseballers hopped
hack into the victory column Mon
day afternoon when they trounced
the Fort Jackson Red Raiders by a
score of 5 to 2. Jim Pinkerton start
ed on the mound for the Birds and
although he was in the hole many
times during the contest he limited
the Raiders to 6 hits while fanning
3 and issuing 4 free tickets.
The Birds finally found their bat
ting eye and slammed out 8 hits
during the afternoon while scoring
5 runs.
The Raiders drew first blood in
the first inning when they reached
Pinkerton ior two singles and man
aged to score Simpson, Raider
shortstop, who got on on an error.
The Gamecock fielding was still
spotty and this was one reason for
the Raider scores. The Birds com
mitted five mistakes in all. Giles
Clark and Jim Pinkerton were the
sluggers for the Birds getitng wo
hits a piece. Pink came up in the
sixth inning and slammed one of
Pitcher Griffith's offerings high up
on the left-center field wall for a
double. Clark hit a line drive down
the first base line in the seventh
inning that went for a triple. Grif
fith pitched all the way for the
Raiders and was marked down with
his second loss to the Gamecocks
this season.
