OF Heller, Albrecht
THE tie that binds" has fl
nally been broken and the Ma
jor Softball League playoffs will
go back to a normal schedule
next Monday evening. All this
came to pass following a rough
and tumble game at st. Mary's
Stadium last night between Den
marsh Hotel and Hubarth &
Schott, the latter walking off the
field victors by a to 2 score.
The game marked the third
time the two clubs had tangled
in the past ten days, two of the
tits ending in ties. Last Tues
day each outfit wound up with
two runs apiece at the end of
nine innings and a week ago
Tuesday 3-3 deadlock resulted.
Next weeks schedule calls for
Covered Wagon and Denmarsh
Hotel to cross bats at st. Mary's
Stadium on Monday, and the
following night Super Cleaners
and Hubarth & Schott will meet
at the same diamond. Players
are again reminded to observe
the 6:45 starting time.
POOR FIELDING
On Thursday evening next
week, the winners of Mondays
clash will oppose the losers of
Tuesdays battle. Mondays loser
will be eliminated as will the
loser of Thursdays game.
Denmarsh Hotel can blame its
loss on the hitting proves of
Pete Heller and Harry Albrecht
plus some poor fielding on the
part of the losers. Heller played
a major role in the Lumber
jacks triumph. The third sack
er had a perfect night at the
plate with a pair of singles and
a home run and scored three
times. Albrecht had a double to
his credit and was credited with
the other two H. & S. counters.
Heller started a two-run rally
for the winners in the second
inning when he opened with
single and stole second. AL
brecht hunted back to the mound
but an error at the initial sack
permitted Heller to tally the
first marker, Albrecht being safe
at first. Pat Parker fouled to
Bernie Ballantine, who made a
circus catch in the cars along
he third base foul line for the
first out and Don Trombley sac
'ificed Albrecht to second. Jerry
Cont bounded to second and
On an overthrow at first, AL
Drecht scored and the batter
went to second. The inning end
ed when Marv Leggett, Den
marsh hurler, famed the next
man.
AGAIN
Denmarsh got one Of the runs
back in the first of the fourth
as H. e. S. pitcher Marvin
Duckert allowed three singles
and Ballantine made his way
around the circuit. The gap was
however, for the Lum-
oermen again manufactured
pair of TALES in their half of
he fourth to take a Al lead,
L was Heller again who started
he festivities. He singled and
.ook second on an error. AL
orecht lined a double to right
.ield to send Heller in and the
Iubarth & Schott shortstop took
bird on an error and scored
On an infield out.
The final run for the Lumber
acks was the result Of long
irive to the right field fence
oy Heller good for a round
ripper.
The Hotelmen went down
lighting as they staged a minor
Uprising in the first of the sew
nth. With one out, Winnie Hav-
,rd singled and stole second. The |
brow TO second went out into |
enter field and Hazard came |
til the way around. Duckert got |
he next man on a fly TO right |
ield. but Walter Ostrom and |
Bill DuBay singled to put run
Iers on first and second. The
hrcat ended there, however, as
he next batter grounded to first
'ase and was retired. first base
nan unassisted, to end the game.
The Hotel club outhit the win
lers by an eight to five margin,
'ut mediocre baserunning put
crimp in two or three chances
which the Denmarshers had to
core. DuBay collected two of
he eight hits, both singles, in
hree plate appearances for the
'est Dcnmarsh average.
Leggett got three Lumbermen
n strikes and didn't give up
base on balls. Duckert was
redited with one strikeout and
ssued one pass. IA |
