Nunnamaker Pitched Great BAH
and Visitors Did Not Score: 3
:,
Until Ninth

Tuesday afternoon Sumter defeafeG
Wilmington in the second game Of the
series Z to 2. The game was LOOSELY
PLAYED, due to the bad condition OF
the diamond.
The game was very exciting, caused
by the near fights, on the sidellnes,
between a player and spectators. How
ever, it passed without any difficulty
The game threatened to terminate 10
the sixth inning when umpire made
decision which, TO the visitors, d1d
not look exactly right. But after per-
suasion and an insufficient number OF
substitutes the strikers agreed to fin
ish the game The feature Of the game
was the excellent box work done by
the local lad, Nunnannaker. For SIX
innings he was twirling air tight bal,
refusing as much as a single guntt
| the sixth. =
However, he was not given the
proper support, for in the second IN
ming the visitors had the bases fun
and two. outs. The next batter was
retired on strikes.
In the first inning Campbell walked
and scored on Cravford's long double
TO center. Wilmington tightened up
and played excellent bah: till the
fourth inning when Sumter secured
three. siaits which coupled with three
errors, netted three runs
With one out in ;the ninth the Wal
mington bunch began a rally Wflacn
scored the onty runs they obtained an
the game. Sullivan, "a; pinch-hitter,
walked, stole second and scored onsa
single. A long double caused the oti1--
Ter score by Wilmington. One runner
was thrown out at the plate ia eAe
rally.
While the game was loosely playei,
it was better than the previous one: ss:

Sullivan, who was the choice OF the

Pitching in great style, he kept the
locals hits so well scattered that ne
was not in danger of defeat once.
However, it was: the heavy h1ttlns

game. In the second inning, SIX
straight hits netted six runs for the
visitors. From then ,on@tne game was
never in doubt Rurress, who start
ed for Sumter was in no conditlon TO
compete with Sullivan for honors.
Nunnamaker who relieved Burress was
1itrle better. The first two balls tnat
Nunnamakewr threw went for clean
hits.
