which almost everything happened.
Glasgow led into the seventh in
ming, normally the final frame. when
a few local errors along with some
well-bunched project hits, tied the
count at 13-all.
Five innings of ~scoreless ball
followed, with a few scattered hits.
FjerStad went on the mound for
Fort Peck in the eighth and deliver
ed a tight and well-controlled game
until the luckless thirteenth when
the project men relaxed and the
Glasgowites brought in 7 runs.
The contest was also featured by
to two players. Homer

N the sixth while behind the bat.
Gene Gamas of Fort Peck, in at
5empting to field a hard line drive,
also damned a finger, causing a dis
.ocation. Loucks' homer with two
men on in the early innings was a
lighlight
