Sturgeon Lake Is
Runner-upI In
State Tourney
Austin Wins From Pine
County Entry in Final
Game by Score of 10 to Z.

The Sturgeon Lake baseball team
which went through the regional tour
ney unscathed and it's first contest
with Iona in the state meet, came
to grief in the final and champion
ship game against Austin of the
Southern Minnesota league by score
OF 16 to 7. The Lakers, perhaps,
made their best bid for the Class A
state championship since they have
been representing Pine county, but
it was not enough.
The Austin club did not at any
time, with the exception of one in
ming, have an easy time downing the
Pine county entry, for it was trail
ing by score of 4 to at the end
of the third inning However, the
Austin half of the fourth inning
proved Surgeons undoing, for it was
in that inning that Austin ran in eight
scores, which lead it did not relin-
quish. Sturgeon Lakes undoing pos
sibly, was the fact that seven errors
were committed against three for
Austin, and the excellent pitching
performance of Goldberg for Austin,
who struck out ID batters The LAX
ers did well on their offensive by
getting seven runs from eight hits.
Iona First Victim.
1t was Monroe Cunningham's day
in Sturgeon Lakes first game of the
tournament when he allowed but six
hits, struck out six and pitched good
ball in the pinches. His teammates
gathered nine hits for themselves and
defeated their opponents to 4.
