game but was completely outplayed,
being defeated Is to l. The locals
touched up Manning's offerings for 10
clean hits and ran wild on the base
paths, stealing almost at will, while
Stowell was especially effective, allow
ing only six hits and three of them
were of the scratch variety. The locals
played their best game of the season,
making only one error, and that was

the runner from third, consequently
loosing both the runner and the ball.
