The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1922-06-08


got very poor support from his teammates,
which enabled the visitors to get two
counters and again put the game in hook.
sGoswitz struck out but Marsh got wise to
one of Bur's slants and he walloped it out
to left center for three stations. Mattson
hit bounding grounder to Shu who took
the plate to put out Marsh, who was adj
vancing. The throw was perfect but Eos
dropped the ball allowing Marsh to score
and Mattson went to second on the play.
G. Hanson went out on a grounder to
Hen, unassisted, but Mattson advanced
one peg on the sacrifice. While Bur was
pitching to Meyer, he became extremely
wild. Two of his deliveries were especial
ly so, for nothing could stop them only
the stone wall. On the first wild pitch,
Mattson was allowed to score and Bur
was chaged with an error. After getting
a two and two count on Meyer, Bur then
let another one slip that hit Meyer, Civ
ing him free transportation. Then, while
Meyer was walking to first and rubbing
his arm, Bur inhaled quite freely of the
fresh air, which gave him new lease
of life. So when Lundstrom stepped up to
the plate, all Bur was obliged to do was
to feed him three "slants" and Lundstrom
bit on every one. Thus the visitors were
chased back to the field with the game in
"hock" for the scond time with two run
lead. The locals came to bat with deter
mination still stamped upon their coun-
tenances. But looked very gloomy in
deed, when the two first men up were
easy marks. Gall was thrown out, Cos
WITT to Porter, and Eos was tossed out
Lundstrom to Porter. Sher got single
to short center and Hen beat out an in
field grounder for hit and both runners
were advanced one peg each on Lund-
strom's wild throw to first. Bur hit hot
grounder right back at the pitcher which
he could not handle but he DETECTED the
ball right into Lundstrom's mitt, who
made another wild throw to first, allow
ing Sher and Hen to score. Shul drove. a
grounder down the first base line that
covered the ball in time to toss out Shul
at first but Porter failed to cover the bag.
Meantime Bur was allowed to score on the
error. Mye went out on a fly to Marsh,
that retired the side. The locals had now
retrieved what they had lost and still had
a margin of one point the best of the
game when the visitors came to bat in the
opening of the fifth frame. Porter went
out on an infeld fly to Bur. H. Hanson
got single to short right center and
scored on Otto's huke three-bagger. The
hit was really only double but Otto in
trying to stretch it into triple, drew the
play to the third corner. The throw being
little high, Mye let the ball bound off
his mitt among the fans. This error al
lowed Otto to complete the circuit in safe
ty. Goswitz and Marsh both struckout,
retiring the side. However, the visitors
went back to the field, rejoicing over the
fact that they had once more taken the
lead in the game. They had, however,
failed to take into account the locals slug
ging ability, for this proved to be the
inning when the locals staged "free
hitting" contest. Eight men went to bat
in this frame, five of them hit safely,
another was passed on balls. Four of
these six baserunners left their foot prints
on the rubber before the side was retired.
This gave the locals three run lead and
good margin to work upon.
Although, the visitors in the sixth
round came within one point of tieing the
game again. Mattson was thrown out on
an infeld grounder, Dit to Hen. c. Han
son was passed on balls, and was adj
vanced to second on Meyers sacrifice.
