Jacobs Hurls Whiteville To 4-3 Win Over Durham
By JIGGS POWERS
DURHAM, July 31 Cole Jacobs, Whiteville lefty, evened the Eastern North Carolina American Legion series for his teammates at two-all as he hurled Whiteville to a 4-3 win over the Durham Juniors here today.
The stylish Southport throttled the locals with four hits, walked four, and fanned nine. It was his second win of the series having won the opener, 11-5.
Durham took a one run lead in the first inning as Harry Lloyd hit Jacobs' first pitch for a single, advanced on an infield out, and scored as Rone Anderson, Whiteville first baseman, lost Bruce Holt's pop fly in the sun.
Whiteville bounced ahead in the second on a walk to Jacobs, a sacrifice, Lloyd's error, and Bim Ellis' single to center. Whiteville added two more runs in the fourth on singles by Russ, Jacobs, and Dorwood.
The Durham entry scored one in the fourth on Ellis's error, a passed ball, and a single. They added another in the ninth on Brinson Cannada's single and Russ's error. Bob Dorwood lead Whiteville batters with two for two, both singles, while Carswell of Durham paced his team with a triple.
The two clubs play the fifth and deciding game here tomorrow night.
Score by innings:
Jacobs and Russ; Thomas, Carswell, and Cannada.
