The Hurons retrieved one OF The
runs in the fifth inning as Dennis
scored on an infield out and single
by Andy Newlands after havinf

Dennis, pitching with a sore arm
was touched for 10 safeties. He was
dangerous in the pinches, though
and kept the Falcons from making
full use OF their hits.
He was also potent with the bat
cracking out two blows in four at
tempts. Drusbacky and Newlands
who hit triple besides his single,
had similar records.
