season.
The game proved a one-sided affair
with Richie pitching at his best, while
his teammates were hitting Vanguard

inning, the others being scattered
through five innings. Only two visi-
tors reached third base.
Marquard issued three passes, hit
one man. and was hit safely five times
before he retired in favor Of Crandall
with the locals six run ahead.
IN III sixth inning crandall was hit
