The Pierz baseball team and the
Record Breakers of Little Falls
played a game on the Plerz diamond
last Sunday afternoon. The game
opened up rather tame The players
on both sides did not seem to take the
interest usually shown on occasions of
that kind The Plerz boys took the
lead and scored to 2 on the Little
Falls team. By this time our boys
began to play careless, being confident
that they would be victorious and
would beat the visitors badly. They
thought they had them already beaten,
and finishing the game was only a
matter OF form. This lull in the game
by the Pierz boys was taken advantage
OF by the Record Breakers Our
boys were sadly awakened from their
sweet dreams OF victory by the
announcement that the teams were
even and the score was 7 to 7. Now it
was when our boys began to reconsider
matters. They began to realize that
something had to be done or the day
would be lost And now it was when
ball was played. 1t seemed as if the
game had just begun. Excitement ran
high not only between both teams,
but also with the large crowd that had
come to witness the game. The Pierz
boys won in the last inning after a
hard struggle and at the end of the
game the score stood to in favor
of Pierz. To see the last inning was
worth more than the balance of the
whole game. Although the Little
Falls team lost the game their play In
the last inning was credit to them.
Next Friday our team will play in
Royalton. The businessmen of that
place have made up purse of $50 for
which the two teams will play. Our
boys think they have a good chance of
winning: 1t might be, f..
Saturday, July 18th, the Royalton
team will come to Pierz and play a
game with our boys on the home
diamond. Don't miss to see this
game: A lively time may be expected.
