An inability to hit Lynch az opportune
times cost Central the second game OF the
high school post season series. the Black
sniit1s winning out BY clean hitting in an
interesting game on &cDevitt's Field yes
terday afternoon. by the score OF I 10 8.
The o Streeters played well in the field.
but lacked the snap characteristic OF their
work in the early season games
In the absence OF their captain and
star twirler. the Tech players looked
upon Peter Lynch az the man TO keep
the team in the running for the rag
Their selection was a wise one. for. al
though Lynch allowed six hits and dealt
out as many free passes 70 the initial
sack, he got BY with a victory.
Several times when the opposing bats
men threatened to tie the score ne tight
ened up and retired the batter on strikes
or an easy infeld tap. II was no other
than the self-sane Lynch that put Cen
tral out OF the running last year with
hOme-run drive that saved the day for his
team.
There was DIT OF luck mixed in the ac-
complshment. but yesterday he won a
well earne- victory. The game marked
his hrst attempt in the pltcher's box IN
several years and. taking everything into
consideration. he acquitted himself well
