-Peploski's Catch In the 10th Spoil
ed BrattIeboro's Chance to win.
The jinx which has lowered over Is
land park was not dispelled Friday, but
it wavered long enough to allow the
contest to go to IL innings and in the
last half of the 10th inning a Brattle-
boro victory was better than a two to
one shot But the scene shifted in
moment and Keene pulled out victory
to in the 18th inning
The credit of saving the game to
Keene should be given to Pitcher Pep
loski. who was playing in left field. He
made some fine catches previous to the
10th inning, but at that time he struck
his hardest blow against Brattleboro. In
the 10th, after Malcolm had been thrown
out at first by Proctor, Grow and Rid
Ion batted safely. Peplosk was play
ing deep field when Mayforth hit the
ball to short left field. The drive looked
safe to everybody and Grow took
long lead toward third Peplosli sprint
ed in great style and on the dead run
picked the ball off his shoestrings, and
throwing to second, caught Grow, retir-
ing the side. At this time Keene had al
ready been at the bat, the score was
tied and the next batter up would have
been Smell, the most consistent hitter
in the entire league. 1t was a great and
deciding play which PeplosN made.
In the 18th, after Lynch had struck
out, Proctor hit safely and stole second.
Anderson struck out, and the situation
did not look bad even with Proctor on
second. Durgin was purposely passed to
first on balls. Little Fish, the Keene
catcher, hit sharply to the outheld and
Proctor scored, Durgin going to third.
Then Jimmy Koran hit to right field and
Durgin came home. Donovan flied out
to Guiheen. In Brattleboro's half of the
18th Smell and Hoban were thrown out
at first. Donnelly met the ball for his
third safety of the day Donovan failed
to hold Guiheen's grounder and Brattle-
boro had men on first and third, but
Maiden hit a grounder to Anderson and
was out at first.
We have told the story of the end
| ing of the game first but the contest
was interesting and spirited from start
| to finish. 1t was high grade game of
ball all the way, and every spectator re-
ceived his moneys worth, even If the
| home team lost.
Keene started the scoring in the first
| inning. Durgin laid down bunt and
| was safe. The infielders played in close
| for a bunt from Fish but he dropped the
ball over third base After Koran was
| thrown out at first Donovan cracked out
a single and both men scored. Brattle-
| boro secured a run in the second on
| Smells hit. Hobans sacrifice and DON
nelly's hit. In the sixth Keene scored
| twice on three hits, a sacrifice and two
| bases on balls, Wardwell forcing in one
run by giving a base on balls with the
| bases filled Malcolm relieved Wardwell
| in the seventh.
| In the seventh Brattleboro touched up
Anderson in lively style, singles, by
| Smell, Donnelly and Guheen and NAL
collins hard smash for two bases netting
three runs. Midget Maiden played a
star game in left field, pulling down two
| long drives that looked good for extra
| bases
