Pembroke Falls

Saturday morning Pembroke
State's Braves moved into Lambeth
Field and the resulting game was a
good one. The game was marked by
tight pitching and good defense,
with pitcher Steve Brindle earning
his fifth victory without a defeat on
the strength of Cubbage's lead off
blast in the ninth.

Any tendency to dismiss
Pembroke just because no one
seemed to know where Pembroke
was quickly dispelled when the
Braves played the high caliber
baseball that carried them to fifth
place in last year's NAIA tourney.
The Cavs made only three hits but
were able to make good use of
whatever opportunities they were
given.

Another contest marked by a
high degree of professionalism was
Sunday's State game, regrettably
one for the loss column. The
Wolfpack's All-ACC lefty Mike
Caldwell stifled Virginia on two
hits, fanned 14 men, and socked a
seventh-inning homerun to scale the
Cavaliers' fate.

A single with two on in the
seventh by Danny Baker drove in
the second State run with the third
coming in the ninth on a single by
Pat Korsnick. The only serious
Virginia threat came in the fifth
when Sammy Beale and Jon
Williams snuck in singles while
Caldwell was busy striking out the
side.
