CHAPEL HILL, N. c., March %.
Henry Reynolds, hefty sopho-

to right field in the 11th inning to
score AL Mathes, and enabled North
Carolina's varsity baseball team to
edge out an 81 victory over Mary
land here today in a thrilling open
ing Southern Conference game.
The Terps turned what started
out to be a listless contest into
thrilling spectacle by rallying for
two runs in the ninth inning to tie
the score at sail. They pushed
over two runs in the 11th to take
a rs lead on singles by Mcdonald,
Du Vail and Wharton, plus a balk
by Pitcher Horace Benton, a stolen
base and a base on balls.
But the Tar Heels weren't to be
denied. Topkins, regular shortstop
who was out with a sore throat,
was sent In to pinch hit for Pitcher
Benton. And he got a single to
center. Howard hit sharply between
second and third to advance Topkins
to second. Mathes walked to fill the
bases and Stirnweiss drew a base
on balls to let in Topkins.
Mallory drove long fly to left,
scoring Howard with the tying run.
Then Reynolds came through with
his winning blow.
Maryland outhit Carolina, 16 to

he managed to stave off a majority
and clear the ball, but one man
couldn't beat the experienced and

Maryland lost the ball time and
