 Twenty-four runs is as many as we have been able to make in the last 10 games at home Think of 1t! Bern sen with four out of six and South worth with five out of eight led the sluggers. Every Baron hit safe. in each game with the exception of Dan ny Clark who was at bat only twice in the first setto.
