Thursday afternoon the Sleepy Eye
and Springfield teams battled on the
diamond with the home team victorious
by a score of to 1. Both teams had
strong lineups and it was hard battle
all the way. Pat Conway, who twirled
a number OF games for New Ulm last
season, was on the hillock for Sleepy
Eye and held the visitors at bay with
ease until the final inning. Kramer did
the hurting for Springfield and pitched
good ball, but the support accorded him
was not as good as Sleepy Eye gave to
! Conway.
Sleepy Eye scored the first run in the
third when Glotzbach singled and went
to second on Robins on's out. A scratch
double by Pusch pushed the marker
across the pan, Wurmstein handling the
hit to right field in miserable style.
Sleepy Eye had men on bases in almost
every inning but Kramer would tighten
before serious damage was done. In
the seventh Hoffman drove safely to
left with one gone. On hit and run
play Robinson singled to right and Hoff-
man scored from first when Wurmstein
fumbled the ball. A fast double play,
Shourds to johnson to Mattson, pre-
vented more runs.
| Springfield had only few chances to
score. Cady singled in the fourth and
was sacrificed to second, but to no
avail. That was the only safe hit OBJ
tanned off Conway's pitching until the
ninth when with two down Cady doubled
to center. Aftermath beat out an in
field tap to Schmidt, scoring Cady.
The decision at first base was close and
Roy Bzoski couldn't see it the way
Umpire Nelson did. He let out roar
and rushed at the jumps but the excite
ment was soon over. Aftermath stole
second and then Johnson lined beauti-
full drive to left. Aftermath hesitated
at third on the coacher's advice, then re-
considered and tore for home, but
Chickens perfect peg to the plate headed
him off and ended the game.
Comfrey played Sleepy Eye on Satur-
day and Sunday, winning the first day
by score of Z to 6 and losing Sunday by
6 to 0. Bzosh hurled for Sleepy Eye
Saturday and was found for ten hits
while Nagel of Comfrey allowed but
nine. The game started off with Maggie
holding the home team helpless and his
teammates throwing away chances to
score by poor baserunning. Aftermath
scored in the second and again in the
fourth on errors, wild throws by the
Sleepy Eye boys being responsible.
i Sleepy Eye scored one in the fifth and
Comfrey added two in the sixth.
With two down in the seventh the Sleepy
Eye batters suddenly pounced upon
Nagle and three singles, a double,
an error and home run put four
