Several times this season Den
marsh Hotel has staged late-in-
ming rallies TO either tie up a
game or capture close de-
ciSion in Major Softball League
encounters. A similar situation
presented itself in the first
playoff game at st. Mary'S Stad-
ium Tuesday evening, and once
more the Hotelmen were equal
TO the occasion.
Pitted against Hubarth &
Schott, defending city champs,
Denmarsh saw the Lumber
jacks get away to a three-run
advantage after four innings of
play. The Hotel club struck
back, however, and annexed a
marker in the fifth stanza and
pushed around two more in the
sixth to even the score. Neither
team could produce in the last
inning and darkness halted play
after the regulation seven
fran es had been completed.
II e. S OUTLET
Denmarsh outhit II. & S. by
a seven to five count, but poor
baserunning handicapped the
Hotelmen, especially in the third
inning. With men on second and
third, the result of a pair of
singles and stolen base, the
Denmarshers wound up with the
two men on third base, when a
passed ball occurred at the plate
and one of the nnerS
started to advance a base
and the other player fail
ed to score. The result was a
rundown and putout between
third and the plate, the remain
ing baserunner getting back to
second safely. The side was re-
tired seconds later on a strike
out.
Pat Parker put Hubarth &
Schott in the lead in the sec
ond inning when he slammed a
drive to deep left field. Parker
circled the bases on the hit, but
was given credit for a ground
rule triple when a spectator
handled the ball as it rolled to-
ward the left field fence.
Harry Albrecht f olloWe d
Parker and hunted back TO the
mound. Parker started for the
plate on the bunt and when the
Denmarsh pitcher was late in
getting the ball to the catcher,
the run scored and Albrecht was
safe on a fielder's choice. Don
Trombley then hit into double
play to Windup the inning.
Two frames later with two
men out, the Lumberman added
two more counters to their total.
Parker again started the ball
rolling with a single. Albrecht
walked and both men stole a
base. Don Trombley dropped a
single in short left field and the
pair of runs resulted.
Denmarsh finally tailed in
the fifth stanza as Emil Colo
singled and went TO third as an
error was made at first base on
a throw trying to get Walter Os-
from who had grounded to short.
The next batter went out short
to first, but Bill DuBay hunted
down the first base line and
Colo came across the plate as
DuBay was being thrown out.
BRINDLEY DOUBLES
Leonard Brindley became the
hero on the Hotel team in the
next inning. With men on sec
ond and third, the result of sim
giles and a sacrifice, Brindley
lined a double to right center,
both runners coming in TO tie
the score; and on throw TO the
plate, Len ended up on third
base. Winnie Hazard, next bat
ter, attempted 10 lay down a
bunt TO squcezse Brindley home,
but interference was ruled on
the play TO make two away and
Colo flied TO right field ending
the rally.
II. T. S. threatened in their
portion of the sixth when Pete
Heller doubled with one out and
Albrecht walked following an
other out, but d. Trombly pop
| ped TO third for the final put
out. A replay Of the game will
take place THIS evening at st
Mary's Stadium. Starting time is
