inning after he had singled to score
yHMpura. The visitors were in the
midst of a rally at the time that

cision of a veteran for the last four
innings. He not only kept the
Boomers from further scoring but
gave them only two hits and two
bases on balls.
In the first inning Bloomington
scored four runs. Kellerman
walked and Coltrin sacrificed.
Fothergill was hit by pitched ball.
Kellerman stole third and then the
double steal was successful, Ben
son throwing the ball over Dixon's
head on the relay, allowing Keller
man to register. Sykes followed
with a home run that sent F0ther-
gill In ahead of him. Snyder sing
led, stole. second and scored on
Lenahan,s single. In the third in
ming singles by Thompson and
sFothergill and Sykes sacrifice fly
scored Thompson.
The islanders first started to get
interested in the game in the
f0urth, when Benson slashed hit
through shortstop. He went to
third on Smiths single to right
and scored while Coltrin was
throwing out Martin at first.
Bloomington added two more in
their half of the inning. Lenahan
tripled and scored on Zeiser's sin
gle. Kellerman doubled and scored
on Coltrin's single.
The fifth was the islanders bic
inning. Dixon beat out a hit to
: Lenahan and Murphy beat out his
hunt after Dennis had walked
filling the bases. Purpura singled
scoring Dixon and Dennis. Benson
Z singled to right and scored Murphy
Smith hunted both men along
GlOckson was out at first, Purpura
scoring on the play.
In the. seventh, Purpura lived or
Sykes error and scored wher
Thompson fumbled Smiths single
to right. A play was made fol
Smith at second and in sliding te
the bag Ben broke his ankle
Glockson finished the game at frs
base and O'Neil went to right field
