who declined against Glenwood's
left-handed array Of hitters, Vern
himself pitched the nine inning
route and left Glenwood high and
dry with only three scattered hits
and no runs.
This is Fathers Day, maybe I'll
pitch it myself" Vern said, and SO
he did. Behind near errorless
fielding, in which the infield men
figured heavily, they swept Glen
wood aside 2 to 0. It was an aveng-
ed game after Glenwood had taken
Sank Centre 4 to 2 a week earlier.
Glenwood got only one hit up to
the eighth inning. In that inning
they got two, rounded a man as
far as third base, where their eff
forts died. They never threatened
again with the infield bouncing on
every chance that bounded down
the diamond.
Sank Centre scored twice in the
third frame. Sorenson and Klein
schmidt got on base with walks.
Reinardy, banging out a hard
double, drove in both for runs.
This was an all-sport event given
as Sank Centres contribution to
the celebration Of Tooth anniver-
sary Of baseball.
