IL. T. -
The matchless twirling of Eric Bos-
well was too much for the Lake City
team Saturday afternoon and Ocala
took the third game of the series by
score of to l. Although Boswell
had pitched a hard game Thursday he
was in fine form and allowed only
two hits. For seven innings he held
the Lake City lads hitless and then
only allowed one hit in the eighth and
one in the ninth. When the game was
over he had fifteen strike outs to his
credit.
Fisher pitched for Lake City and
only allowed five hits but they came
when hits meant runs and Ocala was
able to pile up four runs. Jimmie
Liddell obeyed the indignant yells of
the grandstand and batted right hand
ed the last time he came to bat. The
result was a two-bagger. Van Land
ingham made beautiful stop of
Easterly's hot grounder that SKINNED
directly over the third sack. Taylor
showed the stuff he is made of when
he nabbed hot one off the bat of
Medley and threw him out at first.
Hoke, playing center field for the
visitors robbed Brooks of a two
bagger when he made a beautiful
catch of his long fly in the eighth.
