In their only double-header of the year, Blue Devil nine split twin games with hosting Orange Hornets. A balanced hitting attack produced the victory in the opening game as the Devils won 6-5. However, in the nightcap, the Hornets stung back at Culpeper batsmen 7-5. Led by power hitting Stephen Southard and Luther Stanley, Devils came close to upsetting a strong Lane team. A late inning rally, however, fell short as the Black Knights edged the outclassed Blue Devils 4-3. Southard singled to drive in two runs in the fifth inning and Stanley scored in the sixth to produce the tallies. Good fielding by Gary Lillard and Stephen Southard failed to stop Spotsylvania as Knights nipped Culpeper 2-1. The lone run came on a Curtis single driving in William Thornhill. Although winning no contests, the Junior Varsity baseball team gained valuable experience. Numerous errors and insufficient hitting led to the downfall of Little Devils. STRIKE ONE— CCHS’s ace pitcher Michael Curtis throws the perfect pitch to Jeffrey Massie of the Stafford Indians. 24
