  • 10 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN, April 1, 1971 Cots shutout S.C. State 3-0 THE BIG STICK—Tommy Hayes has received a good omen that his plate performance this season with the Cats will be tough. He opened the Western Carolina season by smacking the first pitch out of the park against the University of South Carolina. Ace Western Carolina pitcher Don McCauley collected his third pitching win of the season Tuesday afternoon as he struck out 13 batters and allowed only two hits in shutting out District 6 foe South Carolina 3-0. It was the home opener for the Cats after a strenuous six- game road trip over the spring break. McCauley was backed by fifth inning homer by Bill Wofford and two hits by slugger Ron Wall. Western scored first in the second inning as they capita- lized on a SCS error, a stolen base and a single by Wofford. Wofford slugged a nobody-on homerun over the right field fence in the fifth for the second WCU run. In the eighth, Ron Wall singled after an error by SCS put a man on for the final score. The Catamounts are now 4-3 for the season with three important district games on tap this week. Today they face Wofford in a double-header here in Cullowhee. Then, on Sunday Ap= palachian will be in town for a 2 p.m. meeting. Both Western Carolina and Appalachian State are 2-0 in the district. Appalachian has tallied shutouts in both district contests to date. South Carolina State was 3-0 in district play and 4-1 overall going into the Tuesday game with the Cats. Cats split road trip 3-3 Hayes homers on first pitch of 1971 If the first pitch of the sea son is any indications, Western Carolina's baseball Catamounts are going to have an impressive season. Tommy Hayes, the Cats' 5 foor-10, 160-pound junior cen- terfielder, faced the first pitch of the season in Columbia, S.C. Saturday March 20 and blasted it over the left field fence for a homerun. Hayes seemed unimpressed with the University of South Carolina's pitching as he came to the plate again in the third inning and slugged another homer off the Gamecocks. In spite of Hayes' performance, all the game was not so bright for the Cats as the Gamecocks went on to win 4-2, Don McCauley took the loss for WCU although he had relief from Noland Smathers and Glen Glover. The USC game was the first of a seven-game road swing for the Catamounts during spring break. On Monday, March 22, Western played the Gamecocks again but fell again 6-3. Larry Goodwin started for the Cats and took the loss. He was relieved by Don Bright in the fifth. In the Monday game, South Carolina's Buddy Caldwell equaled Hayes' performance by clouting two homers. For WCU, Jim Laughridge had a two-run homer over the centerfield fence and teammates Ted Whitworth and Jim Grove collected two hits each. On Tuesday, McCauley took the mound for Western again against Allen University. The Cats got their first win as he struck out 14 Allen batters in route to a 4-2 win. Laughridge had two hits to lead the WCU batters. One recruit signs; more here Sat. Western Carolina University's basketball program signed its first player of the 1971 recruiting season this week. , Richard Dtllahunt, who averaged 18 points and 12 rebounds while playing for Montreat-An- derson Junior College last season, has signed with the Catamounts as a transfer. DiHahunt is from St. Albans, Queens, New York and is~ 6- foot-4, 185-pounds. "Richard is the type of player we are going after this year in our recruiting. He is a good shot and a tremendous rebounder. We expect him to see action as a forward and from all indications he should be a valuable asset to us next season," said WCU head basketball coach Jim Hartbarger who recruited DiHahunt, This Saturday at 2 p.m., Hartbarger will have several prospective Catamounts from the New York/Washington area working out in Reid Gym. All are outstanding players, but the work-outs will be especially competitive due to the limited scholarships available for next season. Only two of last season's Cats were seniors and there will be several returning veterans, so scholarships will be few for Hartbarger to work with. The Paladins of Furman University provided the competition for the Catamounts on Wednesday. Glenn Glover hurled seven scoreless Innings in a strong performance on the mound for WCU. Ron Wall homered and his teammates Jim Laughridge and Tommy Hayes had a good day at the plate. Laughridge collected three hits and Hayes connected for two doubles. Thursday and Friday the Catamounts were to play Th« Citadel, but rain forced cancellation of the Friday game, WCU rallied for three runs in the top of the ninth inning to get a 5-4 victory in the Thursday game. Gene Bowles led the WCU plate attack as he went 3 for 4 with three RBI's. Ron Yount and Ronnie Tanner batted in the other runs. Noland Smathers was the winning pitcher over the previously undefeated Citadel (.7- 0). The long road trip ended against Augusta College last Saturday as Don Bright, a freshman right-hander from Shelby, N.C., hurled a one- hitter until the fifth inning. Bright was hit by a line drive that put him out of the game. The Cats were leading 2-0 at that time. Glover came on to replace Bright and had two good innings before getting into trouble in the eighth Mike Pfeil came in only to have the WCU defense fall apart on him giving up the tying and winning runs as western lost 4-3, Pfeil was charged with the loss. At the end of the road swing. Western Carolina had an even 3-3 record. WCU PITCHING ACE, Don McCauley played against the Catamounts last season with Gardner-Webb and won. The 6-foot-3, 205 Junior from Old Fort, N.C. transferred to Western and now owns a 2-1 season record, McCauley has struck out 31 of the Cats opponents in only 20 innings.
