Tuesdays Clash

Needing only one more VIC
tory to assure themselves of the
city softball championship, an
inspired Super Cleaners ball
team anxiously awaited the
challenge of the semi-finals win
ner for a showdown to deter
mine who will capture the high
est Mount Clemens softball hon.
or.
With Henry Brenniman spark
ing the club, the Cleaners met
Hubarth & Schott in battle of
winners at st. Mary's Stadium
Tuesday evening and had COM
paratively easy time subduing
the Lumberjacks as Mel Freder-
ick pitched himself two-hit
/ shutout while his teammates
were getting eight safeties and
four runs off Marvin Duckert.
Brenniman was easily the
most aggressive player on the
field and it was his go get 'em"
style of play which aided i'm
measurably in the Super win.
Hank was on his toes through
out the game and retired three
H. & S. batters on foul flies at
his catcher's post besides help
ing out his battery-mate with
some lively chatter behind the
bat.
Frederick turned in a bril-
liant performance on the mound
for Roger Quinn's men and re-
ceived perfect support from his
mates in the field. The only
safeties Merry Mel" allowed
were triple by Harry -Albrecht
and a single by Bill Beardslee.
Albrecht was the only H. g. S.
batter to get as far as third base.
There was one out in the fifth
inning when "Mushy" laced out
his three-bagger. Pat Parker
followed him at the plate and
slapped a hot grounder down
the third base line. Floyd Fred
erick came up with the ball and
Albrecht was trapped and run
down between third and the
plate, Parker going to second
on the fielder's choice. Freder-
ick got out of trouble, however,
by forcing the next man to
ground out, third to first.
The batting hero for the
Cleaners in the game was none
other than First Baseman Clar-
ence "Harpo" Seibert. The clas-
sy southpaw first sacker enjoy
ed a perfect night at the plate
with triple and two singles in
three times at bat. He account
ed for the first two Super scores
in the third frame as he lined a
three-bagger to left center TO
drive in Valaer Denewith who
had preceded him at the plate
with a single. A moment later
Seibert scored as Les Frederick
grounded to shortstop and was
safe on an error at the initial
sack.
Wally Schonschack started
the Quinnmen off on their other
two-run rally in the fifth stanza.
He tripled to deep left field with
one out and when Denewith hit
head for the plate was called
safe when the Lumberjack
catcher dropped the ball. Sci
bert sent Denewith to second
with his first single and after
l.. Frederick had fouled out to
Catcher Don Trombley, F. Fred
erick cracked double down the
right field foul line, Denewith
cross ing the plate and Seibert
going to third. The next batter
ended the inning, however, by
going out, second to first.
Hubarth e. Schott went down
in order in the sixth and seventh
innings, but Super Cleaners put
two men on base in their half of
the last frame, failing to score
however. Seibert got his third
hit, a single and when L. Fred
erick also singled, Seibert was
out trying to make third on the
hit.
