contest and while Still was touched
up at a lively clip, no was not entirely
responsible for the downfall OF the
s local club
There was lot OF dumb playing, and
there was a lack OF ability to connect
with the ball Mt tho time when hits
might have counted Some errors help
cd the Crew to streng then their po4-
sition on the ladder. but the principal

fact that they hit when 1t was n good
thing TO do, and they ran bases and
worked the squeeze play to the taste
OF the fan who likes good plays, re-
