Sturgeon Lake, Pine county
entry i'm the state amateur base
ball tourney at st. Paul this week,
will play its first game today at
IL a. m. against st. Paul Park.
The Sturgeon Lake baseball team
earned the right to represent the
Pine County Baseball League at the
state tournament in Lexington park
in st. Paul this week when it de-
feated the Brook Park nine to in
game at Finlayson Sunday after
noon, witnessed by about 500 people.
Jack Cunningham, Sturgeon first
baseman, stopped hard hit grounder
by Hoaglund and touched the bag
to end menacing ninth inning rally
which threatened to wipe out the
seven run lead the Takers had when
they took the field for the last time
that game. BY making the sensa-
tional catch Cunningham made secure
for his team the distinction of repre-
senting the league at the tourney.
Sundays game was one of three
which are to be played to decide
the championship of the league for
the season, but due to the fact that
insufficient time remained in which
to play all of them before the state
event it was agreed by the two teams
that the winner of Sundays game be
the representative at the classic. The
deciding game or games, whichever
the case might be, will be played
after the tourney.
The game Sunday was featured by
heavy hitting and sensational field
ing. In the first inning with one out
Lynn Anderson walked, Nelson doubled
and Jack Cunningham walked filling
the bases. This was a perfect setting
and the much looked for sensation
came when Redenbaugh, next up, sent
a long drive to left field that sailed
on the wind and disappeared below
the hill permitting Redenbaugh to
circle the bases and score the four
runs for Sturgeon Lake.
In the fourth inning Mcclellan hit
for three bases and scored when Har-
apat singled. In the fifth John singled
and scored when Mcclellan doubled.
Sturgeon Lake went on batting
rampage in the seventh inning. B.
Olson, first up, singled, Lynn Ander-
son walked. At this point Ernie
Westerman relieved Harapat in the
box for Brook Park, Harapat going
to third John to short and w. Stanch-
field going out. Westerman's first
pitch to Nelson was knocked to left
field for single scoring Bobby Olson.
Jack Cunningham doubled to left
field scoring Lynn Anderson and Mel
son. Redenbaugh singled scoring
Jack Cunningham and Upgren
grounded to the pitcher. McHale
singled scoring Redenbaugh, and then
stole second and third. w. Cunning
ham famed and Mack Anderson
grounded out to first base to end that
hectic inning.
Brook Parks exciting rally in the
ninth inning started when Brown
singled with no one out, Westerman
singled advancing Brown to third.

to throw out Westerman at second
base. Northway singled scoring Wes-
terman. Prochaska singled, John
