Lanier Eliminates
Griffin 2-0
If Coach Don Pierce has learn
ed anything in Griffin’s three
ball games Its that the pitching
is far ahead of the hitting.
However, that’s not too unus
ual. It happens every spring.
Griffin has played three gam
es and have only eight hits to
chow for their work.
Coach Pierce expected the
hitting to be behind the pitching
at this stage of the season but
not that far behind.
The Eagles were the victims
on a fine one-hitter Tuesday by
Jimmy Allen as the Lanier Po
ets eliminated Griffin from the
Lem Clark Tournament with a
2-0 shutout.
David Gossett’s third-inning
double was all that kept Griffin
from being the embarrassed vic
tim of a no-hitter.
On the other hand, Griffin’s
Grady Pierce pitched a very
strong game. He allowed only
four hits and fanned 10.
However, he had some control
problems and it figured in both
Lanier runs.
At this stage of the season,
Griffin’s pitchers are allowing
only 3.6 hits per game. Griffin
is collecting only 2.6 hits per
game.
In past years Griffin has prid
ed itself on its ability to hit for
a high team average.
Many Griffin teams hit over
.300 for a season. That’s excel
lent for a team average.
Coach Pierce Is concerned ab
out Griffin’s inability at the pl
ate. The players are down-right
worried. They figure they should
be hitting better.
Coach Pierce is familiar with
the problem, which crops up
early in the season.
He believes that time will heal
the problem and Griffin will be
gin hitting soon.
The players are troubled most
ly by the large number of strike
outs.
For instance, 14 Griffin play
ers went down swinging or look
ing Tuesday in Macon. Fans
can hardly remember when that
many Griffin players have walk
ed back to the dugout with the
bat in their hands.
Griffin’s left-handed swingers
faced real trouble in the tourna
ment. They went against left
handed throwers in both games.

a walk.
Wayne Westmoreland, batting
for Randy Harrison, fanned.
Steve Carver, who inched hit
for Robert Rohm, drilled a siz
zling liner to the pitcher. Allen
caught the vicious drive and
doubled Lynch off first.
Although it was a fine play by
Allen, an inch or two to the left
or right and the drive would
have been a clean base hit or
Allen would have been hit by
the shot.
Griffin is scheduled to play
Russell here Friday. There’s a
possibility the game will be post
poned.

SPORTS
★★★★★★
They were zeroed in 13 trips to
the plate.
Griffin’s pitching has been
very effective.
Ken Strickland has two victor
ies to his credit. He has pitch
ed a six hitter and a one hitter.
Grady Pierce pitched a four
hitter against Lanier but was
the loser.
Pierce showed little effect of
his knee injury until the sixth
inning when he made a quick
move to field a grounder.
He twisted the knee but was
able to stay on the mound for
the finish.
Pierce had a very good curve.
He used it effectively, striking
out 10.
His fast ball was rising and
was too high in the late innings.
Eight of Pierce’s strikeouts
came in the first four innings,
while he was still fresh. He has
n’t worked much because of the
knee injury and it told on him
in the late frames.
Griffin’s only serious threat
came in the third when Gossett
doubled after one out. Pierce
drew a walk but the runners
were stranded when Tommy
Lynch popped up and Randy
Harrison fanned.
Griffin had something of a th
reat going in the sixth.
Lynch opened the inning with
