Hooper also showed the Flatbush fans

But Lewis's inability to catch that

another opportunity to h. the ball Jake
tore n line single to right for his first
clean hit of the series, He made an In

made several attempts to get nj his sac

over his hits. and tina, clean welt gave
him fresh confidence in himself.
Jake connected for a triple In the

This proved highly important, as Olson
