"Spat'' went the ball as it struck his
| glove and stuck there. He quickly
recovered himself and threw to sec
ond, doubling the runner who had left
/ that base, completing a pretty double
play and shutting off two runs for
| ''Stokie - This was the second
double play he had started, pulling one
in the fourth inning.
In the eighth, after he had doubled,
driving in two runs and taking third
on the throw into the plate, Punt was
yanked and Woods came in to pitch,
with the crowd pulling hard for run.
Barry got good lead off third, and
starting with the pitcher s wind-up he
clearly stole home-a clever bit of
1 work and wide awake baseball.
Austin also turned in a clever bit of
fielding In the third with the bases
crowded and two out he went into
right field, gathering in low fly which
was plainly labeled base hit and shut
off at least two runs.
Brattleboro was the first to score,
getting three in the second on two hits,
two errors, a fe1der's choice and an
out at first
1t was evident at the start of the
third that Burke was in for a bit of
/ trouble The first man up singled
Burke then passed the next batter,
/ Reyes grounded to Taylor, Carr was
passed, filing the bases, Woods flew
out to Kennedy, Faulkner drew a free
ticket, forcing in a run, and Austin
saved Burke's bacon by his pretty
catch in right field. The trouble that
had been brewing cropped out in the
next frame, however, as the first batter
singled, was safe at second when the
play on Reason s grounder arrived too
/ late to force him. Both runners adj
vanced peg as Burke issued another
pass. Shea popped to Burke, and again
a free ticket was issued forcing in
run number two. Carr whanged a hit
to center, which took a bad bound, get
ting by Barry, and two more runs came
in With men on second and third and
one out Barry gathered in Woods 5
Edrive and doubled Carr off second.
Burke was again in trouble in the
sixth when Reason, first up, singled,
advanced to second when a fielder 8
choice went wrong, both advancing a
notch as Burke uncorked wild pitch.
; The next two hitters went out at first
and then Biff Bang Carr drove out a
single to right center, scoring two;
: Woods followed with another to left
center and Carr scored; Burke inter
cepted the throw home, getting Woods,
at second, retiring the side.

, ond. Cooke struck out, Foley singled
, to right, scoring one, taking second on
the throw home. Reason singled over
second and stole. Punt hit to Under
wood. who got the ball too late 10
: get the runner at home, and as Taylor
was playing in short Underwood could
not make a play to that base but
showed good judgment by hanging on
}. to the ball Punt stole second, and
/, Shea followed with a drive just inside
first base, scoring two. Taylors.threw
out Shea trying to make two bases
on the play. Keyes famed, ending
Keenes scoring for the day.

game. Rate, first up, drew a pass

popped to third. Then Stowell ripped
off a single over short. Austin cracked
one to right field, scoring Barry. Tn

The locals were now only two runs
behind and the crowd was roofing hard
for a win. Things sure did look rosy
as Austin drew a pass and went to
third on Underwood 8 hit to right, or
, which he made second as the ball was
not handled cleanly. Yarker popped out
to third and Austin scored on Taylor 4
grounder to short. Underwood tried
hard to get lead enough off third tc
: steal home, but was unable to do so
] 1t did look, with Kennedy up, as il
the locals would tie up to count, but
Johnnie lost count and with two and
two on him tried to pull bunt which
went foul and the game was over.
This may or may not be the cause
, but where is the team that ever won g
: game the first time they donned their
new suits. The locals wore theirs fol-
the first time yesterday The score;
