Armando Acevedo stole the
show in the nightcap when. he

the plate, scoring three runs and
driving one home.
Esmond Albury followed Ace
vedo with three singles out of
four tries, and Gates poled two
out of four.
These hitters, with the rest of
the Key West Conchs, combined
their power to gain sweet revenge
from Roadside Pirates, who had
defeated them ga last Sunday,
but saw themselves on the short
end of the same score this past
Sunday.
Joe (House) Casa limited the
Conchs to 10 hits again, but this
time they were more effective.
Pirates scored all their runs one
at a time, the same as they did
in the previous game. Puby Car
bonell limited them to eight safe
ties.
Conchs started the scoring in
the very first inning when they
showed over two runs. They add
ed two more in the third inning,
and in their half of the same
frame the Pirates scored a lone
run. The losers brought the
count to to 2 in the fifth stanza
and then 4 to 3 in the seventh in
ming. Conchs put over their last
and winning run in the eighth
frame, making the score read 5
to 3 at that juncture. In final
effort for victory, the Pirates be-
gan to score in the last-half of the
ninth but were held to a lone
tally.
Leading Pirates were Joe
Casa, who hit two out of four and
scored one run and drove home
one; C. Garcia, who scored two
runs and stole two bases.
