Dutch flew out to short, ending
the third with the same score,
The first three men up for Pasco
in the fourth inning, added one
apiece to Hart's list of strike outs,
and Kennewick tied the score when

died on first, getting there on a
muffed one to third, and Dutch re-

him to third on tumble to first
and then trotted to second while
Richardson was swinging his club.
Ellison took the same route and
Rolf flew out to short, leaving Rube
to mourn on third and Marion on
second.
Esterly found one to his liking
and sent it out into the left garden
Myers sacrificed and Wilgus flew
out to second, Barber bringing
Esterly in on a two-bagger to left,
but was caught mapping on a leisur-
ely journey from second to third
and then the side took up their
mitts, one ahead and waited for the
grand finale, which was not slow
in coming. :.
