Tim McKeithan star pitcher allowed only three hits as the home club raced to seven runs in the first inning and added two more in the eighth. An afternoon game followed with Forest City Alexander sealing a 5 1 victory. Ball park lights and seating drew a holiday crowd and the event marked the park as a premier regional venue between Asheville and Charlotte.
