Bishops Down Bedford By 7-5 Score
Hardy Dillard returned in the seventh inning to quench a final Bed- ford rally by striking out the batter with the tying run on base.
Dillard left the game in the sixth after striking out twelve men, walk- ing only seven, and giving up no hits.
Bedford, facing V. E. S.'s Jim Mc- ~ee for most of the seventh, capital- Ized on several V. E. S. mistakes and the loss of control that prevailed upon McGee after he had retired the first two men he faced and made three of their five runs. V. E. S. made five runs in the second on two errors, two walks, a bunt by Blair Farinholt, Hardy Dillard's double, and Jim McGee's buses loaded double. The Bishops added two more in the fourth when Cranz doubled and scored on a passed ball and when Farinholt, steal- ing second after beinq walked, came home in C. R. Jones' bunt.

Bishops Defeat Woodberry In Spectacular Thriller
The Bishops staged a last ditch rally after they had lost their lead to win 4-3 over the Woodberry Tigers.
The Bishops had led 2-0 going into the seventh inning, but the Tigers were ahead in their half of the in- ning, 3-2. With one out in their half of the inning, the Bishops started their drive. Farinholt tripled to deep cen- ter. Jones hit a grounder to second and Farinholt scampered home with the tying run before the throw. Jones moved to second on the throw to home. Long hit a grounder to the right side, advancing Jones to third. Roe, the next batter, hit a dribbler down the third base line and reached first before the throw as Jones scored with the winning run.
Farinholt pitched a good game and was given good support in the field as the Bishops annexed their third game in three years over the Tigers.

. After leading most of the way, the B1shops dropped a tight extra inning contest to the Tigers of Woodberry, 4- 3.
The Bishops hit the ball well for the first three innings, but Jim Graves, the W oodberry pitcher, re- tired the last thirteen to give his teammates the victory.
Farinholt's homer in the first in- ning sent the Bishops ahead 1-0, but i~ their half of the inning, the Tigers t1ed the score on a walk and a triple by Tommy James, who led Wood- b~rry with four hits. The Bishops p_1cked urtwo more in the third by v1rtue o walks, errors, a n d infield hits, Roe and McGee scoring. A wind and rain storm in the sixth inning helped the Tigers knot the score when three singles and a fly ball brought across the runs.
The score remained tied until the Woodberry half of the eighth when James singled, stole second, went to third on an infield out and scored on an infield error.
