Elizabeth City Yellow Jackets suffered their first 1982 defeat last Thursday as Elizabethan stopped their bid to reach the semifinals. A sizable crowd watched as the locals managed four singles off Price, with Womble Hardison Starkes and Sullivan collecting hits. Lefty Starkes pitched for Elizabeth City.
Coach Hoyle's club played a strong game but received weak run support. Starkes allowed four hits with nine strikeouts while Womble’s single broke a potential no hitter in the sixth. The Jax scored in the sixth and ninth, making it the tightest Royals contest this season despite the loss.
The Greenville Jackets defeated the Greenies 14 to 2 as Coach Hoyle’s team surged in the game’s early period. The Yellow squad faded in the first half, unable to respond to the Jackets' offensive burst.
