started the first game but lasted on
J ly three and two-thirds innings, Civ
ing up seven runs. Rankin, who
won his own game Friday night, re-
lieved Angstatt and held the Wings
to one run during the five and a
third innings he was on the mound.
Meanwhile, the Owls scored two in
the first, one in the second "a home
run by Tom Davis and one in the
fifth. They got man on base in
both the sixth and seventh, but they
couldn't push them around.
But in the eighth, things started
to happen. Manager Bobby Maier,
the first man up, was safe on Hutch
inson's error. Daddario smacked a
single to right and then up stepped
Pat Riley and parked one over the
right field fence, scoring Maier and
Daddario ahead of him. Williams
made the first out when he popped
to the catcher, but Davis kept things
going by beating out a hit to short
and catcher Wapinski promptly
drove him home with a scorching
double to left field, tying the score.
Rankin famed for the second out;
Mays beat out hit to short and the
fans were yelling for Tommy Lilies
to drive him in with the winning
run, but Tommy popped to third,
ending the inning.
The Wings were unable to score in
their half of the ninth and the Owls
lost no time in winning the game in
their nalf, scoring the winning run
before man was retired. For the
second straight time, Maier was safe
on an error, Daddario was given an
intentional pass and Riley singled to
right, filling the bases. Williams,
the next man up, singled to center
and Maier crossed the plate with
the winning run.
But it was the seven-inning night
cap that the fun really got started.
Maggie started for the Owls, but AL
lentown got to him in a hurry and
he was out of there in the third,
with six runs charged against him.
Angstatt, who had already been
knocked out of the box in the first
game, came back to relieve Maggie,
but he only lasted for one and two
third innings, being taken out in the
fourth for pinch hitter, after Civ
ing up six hits and four runs. Bob
by Maier then went to the mound,
with Daddario moving over to Sec
ond and Sabena going to short.
Bobby set the Wings down with
out hit in the fifth, but they got
to him in the sixth for a couple of
runs, making the score at the end of
the first half of the sixth Allentown
II, Hagerstown 4, and then came
the fireworks
Davis opened the inning with
single to center, but was forced by
Wapinski, third to second. Sabena
was up and smacked a triple to CEN
ter, scoring Wapinski Mays walked
and Lilies came up and parked one
in center field for two bases, scoring
Sabena and Mays. Maier came right
behind him and lined a two-bagger
to left, scoring Lilies; his hit was off
Farley who relieved Crory after
Lilies double. Daddario then fouled
to the catcher for out number two.
Riley and Williams followed with
singles to center and Tom Davis
drove them both home with a sim
gle to the same spot, for his second
hit of the inning, and then Wapin-
ski forced Tom at second, for the
third out. Seven runs crossed the
plate on six hits and now the score
stood: The Wings IL, The Owls II.
Maier took care of the Wings in
the seventh, setting them down with
one hit. In our half, Sabena was up
first and flied out to Astbury in cen
ter. But then the boys decided they
had b. n fooling around long
enough lin the early innings the
Owls came up with five errors, to
say nothing of a couple of mental
ones). In quick succession, Mays,
Lilies, Maier and Daddario singled,
Daddario's knock driving across the
tying and winning runs.
While all this was happening,
Lancaster was taking a pair from
Wilmington, with the result that we
are now in second place, just game
and half behind Lancaster.
