Pointers Play Here Today and Tomorrow at Willis Park
Henderson hosts the Pointers for a two game set at Willis Park with first pitch at 4 o clock. Little Joe Acosta and Sally Barnes expected to start on the mound against the Bunnies, with Walters available in relief. The Pointers then visit Henderson Wednesday and Thursday before returning Friday to face the Winston Salem Twins in a three game series. The Boonemens still have a shot at third if they beat the Twins. The Pointers are playing well but late surge prevents a pennant chase as Durham leads and Greensboro dominates early season.
