beaten Central twice and trimmed East

Boetler lost his own game. or rather
helped to lose it, with a weird throw TO
King in the third inning, followed by a
wild pitch. Mclaughlin cut loose with a
timely single. sending in the only run of
the game, the winning tally.

we lost. This pitcher Quinn as usual
proved to be the big stumbling block
