BEHIND HOME PLATE
BY DOUG STEWART

The Owls, who came home from
their last road trip in second place,
one game behind Wilmington, left
on Monday for another road jaunt
that will keep them out of their
own backyard until June 20, But
they made good use Of their home
stay, winning five of the seven
games played and climbing back on
top of the heap, game and a half
ahead of the Blue Rocks.
There's one thing you can count
ON from Herb Brett and his gang
and that's plenty of action. They
may play like "A sandlot team one
night and a big league outfit the
next, but good or bad, win or lose,
there's action every minute they re
on the field and they prove, up to
the hilt, that in baseball, the
games never over until the last
mans out in the ninth"
The team had a really tough
break during their home stay, losing
Tommy Lilies for at least two weeks.
Tommy caught his foot in the bag,
sliding into third base in the first
game of the Trenton double header
on Thursday night, resulting in a
badly sprained ankle. The next
day Manager Brett telephoned Buff
falo and Baltimore for help, but
without success, but was able to
get Joe Napoloes from Portsmouth,
in the Piedmont League. Joe Is do
ing swell job around first, and
has plugged pretty bad gap, but
Tommy is badly needed in the line
up, both for his hitting and his
steadying influence in the infield
While / am on this subject,
wouldn't be fair If didn't put in a
word for Herb Brett, who took over
first base until Napoloes arrived.
The only time that Herb ever
played first before, was in a couple
of games about ten years ago, but
he jumped tight in and handled first
like a veteran during the two games
he played. incidentally, Herbs re-
lief pitching has been something to
watch, In the second game with
Trenton, after the Owls had blown
an eight-run lead, Herb went in in
the fourth inning with one out and
two on; held Trenton to four hits
the rest of the way and got credit
for the win when we put over the
winning run in the sixth inning
The night before that, in the open
ing game with Trenton, Herb went
to the mound in the ninth inning
and retired the side in order. Again
getting credit for the win, when we
came up with the winning marker
in our half.
Notes on the Games
The three-game series with Trcn-
ton, June z and 8, produced about
the worst baseball | have seen in
many moon and the only reason
we won all three games was be.
cause Trenton was shade worse
than we were The three games

produced AZ runs, rs hits and 10 er-
rors, and II that's baseball, then I'm
Dutchman, and I'm just about as
Scotch as they make them.
Having got that out of their sys-
TENS, the Owls turned right round
and played errorless ball Friday and
Saturday against Lancaster, win
ming both games; the first IA and
the second al.
Fridays game, by the way, re-
suited in my phone ringing ineas-
sanity on Saturday, due TO a little
mix up in the official scoring of Tie
game. There were two home runs
in the game. McWeeney, the Ian
caster Catcher, poled one over the
score board in left field in the 5th
inning and Polite drove one over
the center field wall in the 9th.
Merkowitz got 3 hits, one in the
End, one in the 9th and one in the
7th, while Milt Welch got two, a
single in the 9TH and a double in
the 9th Hagerstown's summary
was: 4 runs, 9 hits. 0 errors.
Lancaster broke even ON the Sc
ries by taking both ends of the
double header on Sunday afternoon.
Bill Angstatt started the first
game, but had to be taken out in
the third inning. It's true he got
couple of bad breaks in the first
inning, when a couple of freak hits
were made. but he walked five men,
let loose with wild pitch and gave
up six hits, one n home run, and il
was pretty plain that he wasn't
quite ready.
Brett took over and held the
Roses in check until the ninth,
when a single by Marsh, Martins
error and four-bagger by Polito,
accounted for three more runs and
put the game on ice, the final score
being 8-3.
In the night cap, the game was
tied % at the end of the regulation
seven innings. In the eighth, a
walk, an error and two hits gave
Lancaster three runs and, although
the Owls put on one of their Gar
rison" finishes, a fast double play,
that was plenty, plenty close at
first, nipped ii in the but and the
game ended Lancaster S, Hagers-
town 3.
Only one game was played Mon
day night, Allentown taking York
in a slugfest, IL TO II, thereby slip
ping into second place.
The Owls opened three-game
series with Trenton Tuesday night,
dropping the first game, to |. Nor
gan started, but was knocked out of
the box in the sixth inning, after
giving up II hits. Flesh relieved
him and pitched shutout ball the
rest Of the way
Tart was on the mound for Tren-
ton and had a shutout until the
ninth, when we scored our lone
