Peurifoy fires 2-hitter
Bears blank Newnan, 14-0;
assured tie in sub-region
The Griffin Bears expected
trouble from Newnan here
yesterday. It never came.
Griffin jumped on Newnan for
two runs in the first inning and
coasted to a rather easy 14-0
sub-region victory.
The win was Griffin’s fifth
straight in sub-region play and
assured the Bears at least a tie
for the league title.
Griffin can wrap up the
championship with one more
victory. That could come

tomorrow when the Bears play
R. E. Lee in Thomaston.
George Peurifoy, who pitched
a no-hitter earlier this season,
blanked Newnan on two hits.
The only hits off the senior
righthander came back-to-back
in the second inning. Newnan’s
only serious threat failed when
Peurifoy fanned three straight
after giving up a single and
double.
Griffin hitters rapped New
nan pitching for 15 hits, in-
cluding four for extra bases.
One of the extra base hits was a
solo homer by Niles Murray to
lead off the sixth inning.
After two outs in the first,
Rusty Stonica ignited a two-run
rally with a single. Daryl Jones
followed up with a base hit,
which scored Stonica, who had
moved to second on a wild pitch.
Jones advanced on a wild
pitch and scored on Keith
Phillips’ single.
Griffin added three runs in
the third on only one hit, a single
by Jones. Walks, errors, stolen
bases and wild pitches allowed
Griffin to score three times.

Braves 9 streak ends
By DAVID MOFFIT
UPI Sports Writer
ATLANTA (UPI) - Red
Schoendienst finally got a
glimpse of the St. Louis
Cardinals he has come to know
and admire —and he wondered
where they had been hiding.
“It certainly wasn’t the team
I’ve been seeing so far this
season," the St. Louis manager
said gleefully after the Cardin
als racehorsed their way to a 9-
4 victory over the Atlanta
Braves Wednesday night.
“But, wherever they’ve been,
I sure welcome them back.”
Red’s point is well taken. The
Cardinals hit, ran and played
defense like the Cardinals of
the championship years —but
the win was only their third in
10 games.
“Otr oiggest problem has
been our hitting,” said Schoen
dienst after the Cardinals
got 13 hits off four Braves
pitchers. “The delay (caused by
the strike) hurt our hitters
worse of all.”
“That’s true,” injected Car
dinal third baseman Joe Torre,
who led the majors in hitting
last year with a .363 average
but is hitting 53 points less at
the moment.
“We figured the pitchers
would be ahead of us when we
got back,” continued Torre.
“But I figure it’s about time we
start catching up.”
Schoendienst pointed out that
the Cardinals are not a power
hitting club. “Our park at St.
Louis is tougher to hit the long
ball in than a lot of the others,”
he explained. “You try to build

“There’s no doubt the delay ,
caused our slow start,” Schoen
dienst went on. “The fellows i
who worked out did it on their ,
own. We just weren’t ready as i

dienst. “A pitcher can make a
mistake in St. Louis and get
away with it. But not ir
Atlanta.”
One of those Braves homers
Wednesday night was by Hank
Aaron. It was the fourth in four
nights for Aaron and raised his
career total to 643. That’s just
three behind Willie Mays, who
has yet to hit his first this year,
in their battle for second place
on the all-time home run list.
“Yeah, I guess I have my
timing back,” said Aaron who
had complained about this
problem when he had only one
hit, a single, in his first 22 at
bats.
