WEST NOTTINGHAM CHRISTENS
NEW BASEBALL FIELD

West Nottingham Academy chris
tened beautiful new baseball field
by defeating Avon Grove by a score
of 6-5 in their return game, May 8,
in an extra inning contest during
which both teams displayed spirited
play and intelligent baseball.
The Rams revealed they were suf-
fering greatly from lack of competi-
tion but by dint of painful struggling
managed to fight through.
The score: Avon Groves runs, 4
hits; WNA-6 runs, 10 hits.
Friday, May 10, our forces, little
better coached and little more ex-
perienced faced a mediocre Perry
Vile nine. Right from the outset, the
game was a runaway as the Noting
ham bats rang out with hit after hit.
Bill Bergeron, again pitched a fine
game, as he saw his lead mount inn
ing after inning. Pitching was the
main cause of the tremendous score.
The Perryville nine did not have one
pitcher who could hold Nottingham
down..
1t may be said that our forces just
outclassed Perryville in every de-
partment, which can be seen by the
29-2 score that we ran up. 1t seems
West Nottingham is improving with
every game they play. The last time
we met Perryville was on April 80,
on their home field. We also defeated
them at that time 14-5.
