  • Thursday. March 12,1970 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 7 Baseball team opens season <W#fS%<^ J^WftlSl Coach Bill Haywood's Catamounts will meet the University of Georgia, Furman, East Tennessee, Appalachian and Wofford duringa 2 7-geune baseball season in Western Carolina's first year as an inde pendent. The schedule, which opens March 21 with a seven-day road trip, includes only four teams that the Catamounts played ast season and no games with Caro- linas Conference teams. With a pitching staff of six veterans back, including three starters back, the WCU 1970 baseball outlook is bright. Returning starters include lefty Roger Miller (4-4 last year) and righthanders Lon Joyce (4-3, 2.27 earned-run- average) and Noland Smathers (3-2, 2.05 ERA). The two seniors (Miller an i Joyce) and the junior (Smathers) combined for all U wins as the Catamounts went 11-15 last year. WCU has a fourth starter this season in freshman righthander Glen Glover, and that, plus a good bullpen, should make the Cats much stronger, Haywood says. Joyce, Miller and Smathers combined to pitch 173 of 214 total innings for WCU last season. The bullpen will include righthanders Ed Thompson, Darryl Whetstine and basketball transfer Mike Manis, plus leftys Ed Robinson and Ray Strickland. The catching duties will be in the competent hands of senior co-captain Steve Barkley, who batter .273 and made the all- district team last year. The infield will include three returning starters - Bill Wofford and John Booth at first and Mickey Hicks at third. Booth had five doubles, and a triple and two homers in 13 hits (.191 average) to lead WCU in slugging last season, Wofford hit .172 and Hicks batted .235. Returning in the outfield are sophomores Tommy Hayes (.292) and Ted Whitworth (.283). Hayes, who led the district in batting during the first half of the season last year, is expected to be the centerfield- er, while Whitworth, who also can catch, probably will start in right, Competing for the starting job at short and second are freshmen Ron Callicutt and Bruce West and senior Bill Oakes and transfer Steve Hughes signs grant-in-aid John Hughes, a 6-foot-4, 250-pound all Western NoHh Carolina tackle from Bowman High School, Bakersville, N.C, is the eighth high school prep star to sign a footbaU grant- in-aid at Western Carolina University.
