  • Pitching staff needs help MARCH 23, 1978/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/PAGE 7 Leaky moundwork needs repairs Western Carolina head coach Bill Haywood doesn't know whether to smile or frown about his 1978 baseball team. On one hand, his team is hitting .374 with an average of 12.4 runs per game through five games. And. WCU has already slugged 12 home runs. But, on the other hand, the Catamount pitching staff has been able to shutdown the opponents just twice in giving up 11 runs per game. "If we couldn't hit the ball, we'd be in trouble right now," Haywood said as his team prepared for a six-game home stand this week. "We started earlier than usual this year," Haywood explained, "and our pitching and infield play are lagg'ng behind a little. It's still early. Our pitchers just don't have their rhythm and have yet to master all the pitches." Western has a 4-2-1 record currently with a 9-0 win over Carson-Newman, a 14-13 win and 16-16 tie with George Mason, and a pair of wins over Salem (18-2, 6-0) in the plus column. Losses have been 12-19 at Carson-Newman and 10-11 at Furman. The combination of Western's active bats and the leaky mound work have made it difficult to get one game in during the daylight hours, much less a doubleheader. WCU and George Mason slugged it out until dark in the 16-16 tie, and played only seven innings. At Furman last Saturday, the scheduled double- header went astray when WCU and the Paladins stretched the first game two extra innings before Slow-pitch starts fast The WCU Women's slow-pitch softball team opened their season Tuesday with a resounding 13-3 win over Mars Hill. The game was the first intercollegiate softball game in WCU women's sports history. Coach Betty Peele was pleased with the opening game performance and is optimistic about the season. "We hit the ball fairly well Tuesday. I think we'll be a good hitting team even though we aren't power- laden. Our defense is good and we have quite a bit of speed. We played well for an opening fame, even though we made a few mental errors. "Since this is our first year of intercollegiate softball, I'm not sure just how well we will do, but we will be competitive," she sais. In the game Tuesday, Debbie Suggs led the attack going three for four with three runs batted in. Kurtly Shultheis went two for four with three RBI's, Sandra Frye two for four, and Jayne Arledge added 3 RBIs. Coach Peele cited the pitching of Cary Cook and the defensive play of Ms. Suggs as major factors in the victory. The Lady Cats will participate in Division I against the likes of ECU. NCSU. ASU, and UNC-G (state champions last year). The tryouts for this year's team attracted some"70 participants. The final squad has 17 players, two managers, and a scorekeeper. Co-Captains will be Kit Rea, a sophomore transfer student from NCSU, and senior Vicki Jordan. Coach Peele said that both of the girls were "very capable athletes and leaders." The team will have a double-header against UNC-G today at 3 p.m. at Mark Watson Field in Syiva. This season's schedule includes double-headers with ASU, UNC-G and softball tournaments in Raleigh, Boone and Buies Creek. Furman won it in the bottom of the ninth. The second game was postponed due to impending darkness and will be rescheduled if necessarv, depending on the progress of the Southern Conference race. Western used seven pitchers in that game and Haywood managed to see some bright spots despite the loss. "Freshman Wayne Harwell did a good job and Danny DuBard showed improvement," Haywood said of the pitching. "If our pitching comes around, 1 think we'll still be contenders in the conference. We've got two weeks of non-conference action coming up and the big thing will be to let our pitchers gain maturity and confidence." The Cats will play at home through Saturday of this week. West Virginia State comes in today, and on Friday, WCU plays a double-header, meeting West Virginia State in the first game and Southern Illinois in the second. The Cats host Southern Illinois again on Saturday. The Cats also played on their new field for the first time this season with Tuesday's game. "I think that will help our pitchers some, too," Haywood said. "We were playing on an improvised field with shorter fences." Harwell pitched a one-hitter Wednesday in recording a 6-0 shutout. Rick Adair struck out ten in seven innings' work on Tuesday. Western had eight hitters batting over the .400 mark and another hitting .300 through the first five games. David Ball, a sophomore from Erwin High, leads the parade with a .500 average for five games. Ball has hit two triples and two homers in 20 at-bats and has had 16 RBI. Then come Keith Ebersole, Wayne Tolleson and Billy Boyd at .444. Tolleson had the rare feat of hitting a single, a double, a triple, two 2-run homers and having two stolen bases against George Mason. So far, Tolleson has stolen six bases in six attempts this year. Mark Reeser is hitting .421, Jim Reinicker .750, Bill Repass .300, Don Williams .500 and Johnny Kay .400. -Adjscent 18 Hole Golf Coui*e Recommended by Mob'.
