from the fact that first one and then the

able winner.
Interstate scored three runs in the
opening inning. which at the time looked
big enough to win the game.
The winning tally was registered when
Fenton made a pretty sacrifice fly to
left, scoring Vaughn from third.

had high hopes of tying 1t UP again, as
