In the opening inning and the couple

sluggers among the lads who wore
Grants Pass uniforms. Ames while
he was bending them down the al
ley was found for four singles and
Osburne during the five innings he
was officiating, was clouted for six.
Cole was the bright and shining
star at the bat and in four times up
he drove out three pretty singles.
