of a fast ball and received a pass to
first. Bal singled and Kalua duplicat-
ed Haake's performance. Then came
the now immortal Wadsworth with a
determined look Of do or die written
across his c~ountenance. An awful
swing, a mighty crack of impact, and

cactus bushes. AS short as are Wads-
worth's legs he reached the home plate
ere the ball was returned. Four runs.
