Manitowoc 10, Kaukauua 8.
Sundays game was comedy of errors
the locals winning out By punching their
hits and better base running. APPEL was
hit about as often as Block, but after the
second inning he kept the hits far enough
apart to prevent much scoring. His sup
port was not the best, but the cold wealth
er was responsible for many Of the errors
ON both sides Manitowoc opened the
proceeding by accommodating goose-egg
Block appearing to be in excellent form.
The visitors responded by running in two
scores by virtue of Kromer's base on balls,
Gears single and Rosenfelder's muff OF
Blocks hard fly The locals then pro-
ceeded to take Blocks measure for three
good singles which, combined with two
errors, gift and hit batsman, netted
six runs The visitors went to pieces bad
| ~ in this inning They went to work in
their half, however, and squeezed in
three tallies on a couple of hits, an in
field misplay and base to Gear. The
home team did no further execution I'M
til the fourth, when Gerl was hit by a
pitched ball, Schuette got to first on slow
work in the infield and w. Torrison
made corking hit which G. Phillips let
by him, scoring Gerl and Schuette. {.
Phillips worked himself over the pan in
Kaukauna's half without the sembance
of hit aided by a tumble, passed ball
and sacrifice fly. Rosenfelder proved
good waiter in the fifth and got free
pass, and Vollendorf, Gerl and w. Tor
rison each rose to the occasion and hit
safely. To help matters along thinner
threw the ball to the left field fence, and
three men crossed the rubber. Kaukau |
ma was useless in its half and the locals |
started the trouble again in the sixth, T.
Torrison getting a triple to the fence,
followed by Rosenfelder's safe one and |
Kromer's tumble of Reinfried's grounder. |
Gerl scored the bunch by two-baser. |
For Kaukauna, Miller opened up with a
hit, r. Torrison failed to account for |
Kromer's grounder, and Gear and Block |
hit safe, driving in Miller and Kroner.
Manitowoc rested in the seventh and got |
ready for carnival of base running i'll |
the eighth With one hand out, Vollen
dorf was poked in the ribs with a pitch
ed ball. Reinfried made nice single, |
and then he and Dick made a beautiful |
double steal, filling second and third. |
Schuette got two strikes called on him
and then slammed a liner into left field,
scoring two. Miller fumbled the ball
long enough for Schuette TO land at the
three-quarters post Bill Torrison exer-
cised his privilege and took first as gift
and then unfeelingly appropriated sec
ond An error and Oddy's hit scored
Schuette, Torrison and APPEL, and then
the boys thought they had had enough
fun and retired In the last half of the
inning Reinfried's low throw landed
Gear at third, whence he scored on w.
Phillips hit Block also landed safe,
filing first and second. thinner popped
a little fly to APPEL, but it only made one
out Wiegand then plunked the ball to
Vollendorf, who touched third and for
warded the ball to Schuette in time to
complete pretty double play, retiring
the side. There was no scoring on either
side in the ninth, though after two men
were gone Kaukauna accomplished a
couple of hits. But they We're valueless
for w Phillips could do nothing better
than drive fly into Rosenfelder's nit.
The attendance was about 400, which
was fairly good considering the weather
