(By William Cathey)

first inning cost the Holmes JUNIOR
| College baseball squad their initial
loss of the season last Frs52~ at
Goodman as the Moorhead lads won
a G to 2 decision in spite of a phe-
nomenal pitching feat by Herman
Snyder, who kept Trojan batters
swinging all afternoon to- mark up
an incredible strickout figure of 81.
To make matters worse, the Sun
flower contingent blasted the offer
ings of Willie Gresham and Emile
Lockwood for 16 wallops in the bob
tailed nightcap affair of seven
frames to register an easy Id to 3
triumph.
The opening contest started as if
it would be a track meet for the
Bulldogs, but after the first period
Coach j. r. Campbell's team could
|, garner but four hits off the delivery
of Harbour, who applied the skids
to the Holmes aggregation in a pre-
vious battle at Moorhead.
After Biggers famed, Thomas
doubled and later scored on the first
of Reeds three blows. Reed went
to second on the throw home and
galloped to third when Turner,
catcher, tossed the ball into left
field. Halls drive through the
pitchers box counted Reed with the
second and final Goodman tall.
The Trojans knotted the reading in

out, but Lockwood let the ball escape
him and then threw badly to first
to place the Delta hurler on the bag.
Harbour ran to second on a passed
ball. Ragland later singled with n
out and then Turner's double brought
both runner across the plate.
Hudson's and Van Devender's tri-
Piles, a passed ball and an infield out
produced two more markers in the
sixth. A fielder's choice by Turner,
a single by Davis, a base on balls to
Martin and Nolan's timely single net
ted the Moorhead group their last
clusted of runs in the ninth.

Snyder fail to retire more than n
man on strikes. He whitfield three in
the second, third, fifth and ninth
innings.

Reed with a brace of singles paced
the losers offense in the first en-
counter. Davis with two singles and
Van Devender with a duo of triples

Willie Gresham, who started for
the Bulldogs in the curtailed tilt,
to then the explosion really started.

he was shelled for eight runs and
eleven hits. Emile Lockwood, the
final finger, yielded five safeties and
six runs in a ~two-inning tenure.

tagged Van Devender for five blows
but suddenly stopped and could mus
ter but two safeties thereafter.

jams were Nolan, who smacked a
double, triple and home run, Ragland
