BASEBALL Blue Devils Lick Orange, James Monroe On their way to a three and eight record, Blue Devil batmen won their first two district games. Highlights of the season were the Devil ' s victories over Orange, James Monroe, and Garfield, and their extra-inning loss to the Spotsylvania Knights. A come-from-behind victory over arch-rival Orange gave the Devils their big win of the sea- son. After four and a half innings of play, the Hornets had built up a 5 to 0 lead; then the Devils struck back. Barry Sudduth led off the bottom of the fifth with a “Texas League” single, but was picked off at first. The next batter fanned, but Tuck Pulliam worked the Orange pitcher, Danny Knighton, for a walk. Ronald Mustain, Culpeper pitcher, blasted a triple to left. Two straight errors on the Hornets ' third base- man allowed Anthony Troilo and Macol Hash to reach base. Hugh Eggborn then lashed a single to center scoring both baserunners. After James Herndon singled, Paul Wohlleben popped to the right fielder who dropped the ball, allowing the tying and go-ahead runs to score. In the seventh the Hornets threatened, but Hugh Eggborn ' s throw from center field picked off the potential tying run. The Devils won their first Battlefield District game of the season by dropping Gar-Field, 5 to 3. In the third inning the Culpeper nine rallied for three runs leading off with Nip Pulliam and An- thony Troilo ' s back-to-back singles. Macol Hash then slashed a double to left, driving in both Pul- liam and Troilo. Hash later scored on Hugh Eggborn ' s sacrifice fly to center. Barry Sudduth and James Herndon also scored to assure the Devils the win. AWAITING THE PITCH — Hornets’ Brent Sprinkel awaits Ronald Mustain’s pitch as unpire Herb Hash prepares to make the call.

SPORTS Re-districting the Battlefield District cut its size from ten schools to six. Adding crosscountry, Junior Varsity hockey, golf, and tennis and enlarging the gymnastics program, highlighted the sports year. Closely co-ordinating the various teams, the athletic department stressed the im- portance of each sport.
