started the ball rolling with a double |
down the left field foul line. Collins /
scored ''Rowdy" with a drive to CEN
ter on which Mohardt made a swell |
play to hold Collins at first Arm
strong showed Mike up notch with
sacrihce and Schultz scored him with
a drive to right center. Albright
forced Schultz at second and Skapa
did the same for Albright. Shulls
Durgs hal was featured with some
nice work. Wagner singled to right
on the first ball. Mohardt hunted and
wagner was out, Skupa to Nee. Mo-
hardt took chances at first and Skupa
hnally caught him off with a peg to
Schultz. Johnny legged it for second
and was an easy out, Schultz to Nee.
HoIenbeck then scratched a single
but was forced at second when Kroy
hit to Bell
The third was disastrous. Nigbor
skied to Kappel. Skupa got two
strikes on Learn but the big fellow
busted the next one for a single past
Bell and stole second while Peden was
striking out. Minardo got fuky
single and Learn scored when Schultz
threw the ball into the left field

third. 1t should have been an easy
third out but "Cy" had to make his
first wild heave of the season just
when it hurt. Skupa then tried to
pass Wagner but he hasn't been pass
ing Bill as long as some of the others
and tried to do it by lobbing them up
outside. Bill stepped across and
pasted the ball to deep right field for
nh Minopdn ond
/ Mathews. Mohardt flied to Elliott to
end the inning. Our half opened au-
spiciously Bell cracked a single to
! left and Slap pulled Learn. Nee sac
rificed Bell to second and Kappel was
out, Mathews to Hollenbeck. Robert
son walked Elliott and Collins before
he settled but Peden took Armstrong;
| fly and no one counted.
The fourth was mostly strike outs,
Skupa getting three and Robertson
two. The fifth was another one, two,
three affair Mathews cracked the
sixth with single through the box
| but was out stealing. Skupa whitfield
| Wagner. MOhardt walked and went to
second when Skupa's throw got by
Schultz. Hollenbeck flied to Kappel

drive to right and both runners moved
up on Armstrong; sacrifice. Elliott
scored and Collins went to third when
Robertson let loose a wild pitch,
Schultz scored Collins with sacrifice
fly to Peden. Albright walked and
/ Skupa singled to center but Bell
famed and the fun was over.
The seventh produced nothing but
Shullsburgs half of the eighth was
terrible. Minardo walked and when
Mathews hunted to Skupa Umpire Car
roll called MinardO safe at second. The
play was close but no one agreed with
Jack on his call Skupa's throw was
not too good but Nee made nice play
at the bag and earned the decision
Not getting it made heap of differ
ence in the ball game. Instead OF one
out and a man on first we had none
down, runners on first and second and
Wagner at bat. Skupa walked Wag-
ner under orders and Mohardt lOfted
one back of Armstrong which Army
lost in the sun with the result that two
runs scored while Wagner moved up
to third At this point Skupa was
yanked and Blackburn went in. 1t
looked like bad judgment to pull a

The ancient first sacker is a natural
left handed hitter but switched with
out much success when facing south
paws. When Blackburn went in he
moved over to the other side of the
plate and came through with fly to
| Kappel which scored Wagner. Mo-
hardt moved up on the throw in and
scored on a single past third by Kroy
Nigbor ran into his own bunt in front
of the plate and was called out and
Robertson was out, Bell to Schultz
Our half brought no hits or runs.
Blackburn had no trouble in the
ninth and when Bell opened our half
with a homer over the fence in right
our chances frightened. Slap moved
into the box at this point and Nee flied
to Mahardt. Kappel and Elliott
walked but Collins flied to Mohardt
and Armstrong was out, Slap to Hol-
lenbeck, and the game was over.
