when the visitors punched bases on
balls with hits and brought in the
winning runs. The fact that these
periods of misfortune were coincident

Nicol opened the batting with lively
hit to Fricken. too hot for the slender
phenomenon to field. Glenalvin got
the ball. but Nicol, who is pretty fast

Eddie Burke opened for the locals
