Braves, Yellow Jackets swap victories
BY MARK WILLIAMS
The Braves got a chance to
play “big name” competition
this week when they met the
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
for a two game series. And
Archie White’s team fared well,
splitting with Tech by scores of
9-13 and 7-6.
The first game, played
Monday at Tech, saw the
Jackets take advantage of some
sloppy play by the Braves to
post a high-scoring win.
Infielders’ throws going out of
the ballpark and pitches that
landed in the middle of the
backstop made it possible for
Tech to get many of their runs,
only five of which were earned.
However, West Georgia came
back to its home park on
Tuesday and the result was
different. The Braves took
advantage of 12 walks by Tech
pitchers and carried a 6-3 lead
into the ninth inning. But then
the Jackets came back with
three runs to knot the game.

Softball team
goes 11 -5
The women’s softball team
seeks to extend its season when
it travels to Georgia Southern
for the state softball tour
nament this weekend.
The first year team, under
Coach Sue Doran, finished with
a fine 11-5 record. In their last
regular season outing, the
Braves split with Southern by
scores of 5-1 and 1-9.
According to the optimistic
Doran, the team “has as good a
chance as anybody” in the state
tourney.
“We’ve lately been having a
defensive slump and our lack of
experience could hurt us, but I
really expect to finish in one of
the top three places,” she said.
If the team does finish in the
top three, it will qualify for the
regional tourney to be held in
Tallahassee.
The team is led by second
baseman Terry Friddell and
center fielder Karen Baker.
Friddell is hitting the ball at a
536 average while Baker is at
.508. Overall the team is hitting
383.
This time the Braves were up
to the challenge.
In the bottom of the ninth,
after Kicky Jones led off with a
single and moved around to
third, White gave pinch-hitter
Daryl Fleming the bunt sign.
Fleming delivered with a good
bunt on a two strike count and
Jones raced in for the victory on
the old squeeze play.
Bowdon right-hander Lynn
Ayers picked up the win, the
ninth of the year for the junior
hurler.
The victory marked the third
time this season that West
Georgia has defeated a Division
I college. Previously they had
beaten Marshall and Alabama
at Birmingham.
In the win, the Braves were
led by Tim Williams who was
two for three and Ricky Jones
who had one hit and scored
three runs. Bill Vaughn had two
runs batted in and Clay Wood
contributed a triple and two
scores.
