getting the edge on HiXon, the recent
southpaw addition 10 the local squad.
But one hitter was retired by the
strikeOut route and all the breaks in
that elusive little baggage, luck. were
strong for Neuschafer and his army
OF ball players.

put Lyons on third with a sacrifice
and a sacrifice fly by Quincy allowed
him to score. Madison hit TO center
