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.
