With Mel Frederick pitching
his usual masterful game, Super
grabbed three runs in the third
frame and another in the sew
enth to nail down its decisive
win. Only four Trailermen
reached base safely. Harold
Redloske tripled in the third
inning with two out, but was
left stranded as the next man
flied to left field.
In the next stanza Dale Sny-
der wound up on second base as
a poor throw was made to first
base on his grounder. An in
field out moved him to third
and wild pitch permitted him
to tally the lone CIV counter.
Henry Duckert walked in this
same session but was thrown
out in an attempt to steal sec
ond.
Duckert again got on base in
the seventh when he led off with
a single and was sacrificed to
second base. Frederick then set
Carl Pfiel down on strikes and
Joe Bulley flied to short center
for the final out of the game.
Super Cleaners annexed it's
first trio of runs on two singles,
a double and a pair of costly err
rors. Harold Glefke led off
with a double and advanced to
third as Valaer Deneweth sing
led to right. The latter stole
second but Don Sarver and Clar-
ence Seibert went down swing
ing for the first two outs. Floyd
Frederick hunted back to the
box and beat it out for hit to
fill the bases. On the play,
Deneweth took a lead off second
base and when Duckert made a
bad toss TO the keystone sack
trying to retire him, Glefke
came home, leaving runners on
second and third. Glenn latham
followed Frederick at the plate
and popped a fly behind third
base. The Trailer second base
man moved over TO take the
pepper, but the ball hoped out
of his glove letting in two more
scores.
Hank Brenniman scored the
final Super run in the last inn
ing. He started the frame off
with a single and moved TO third
as Wally Schonschack punched
out a one-bagger to left field.
The throw came in to third base
and when the ball got by the
Trailer hot corner guardian,
"Hankus Pankus' crossed the
plate.
Schonschack paced the six-hit
attack on CIV hurlcr Duckert.
The Cleaner short fielder singled
twice in three times at bat.
Duckert had the edge in strike
outs, getting five to Frederick S
two. The only base on balls in
the contest was issued by Fred
