Brindle Starts

The series opened yesterday
with Virginia righthander Steve
Brindle, last seen in a winner's role
against Massachusetts, attempting
to better his record to 2-0. Brindle
will probably have as his
battery-mate the hard-hitting Beale
but one of the benefits of Sunday's
double feature, necessitated when a
Saturday game was rained out, was
the opportunity given to first year
catcher Al Bracht, who
backstopped Kihm's four hitter.

The Cavs also demonstrated that
they have the pitching depth to
handle the large amount of
doubleheaders that seem, whether
scheduled or not, to always crop up
late in the season. In the span of
their winning streak the Wahoos
have employed seven pitchers with
only Captain Kihm seeing action
more than once.
