The BUGS came from behind to
tie the tilt up in the seventh when
with two out Harry Bridges blast
ed his second hit of the night to
center, and Hoggy Davis clouted
his fourth straight safety, a dou-
BILE to deep right center scoring
Bridges. Davis was hurt going
around first, but the injury was not
severe enough to keep him out OF
future games.
Hewlett wasn't assured of final
ly gaining his second straight vic
tory until the eighth, when the
Pirates racked up three tallies,
due chiefly to Bob LeBlanc's
screaming triple to center field.
Bob Steckel opened with a sim
gle. Jim Station walked and SO
did Ed Hardisky. Bill Benton,
who went hitless in five trips skied
out to Jackson in right, and Steck-
Ell streaked in with what proved to
be the winning run. But, Leblanc
tucked it away safely for Hewlett
by betting out his three-bagger.
In the eighth inning Bridges was
hit on the head by a fast pitch, but
shook it off. For a while it look
ed as if the injury jinx might
take the Pirates runs batter-in-
king. Then the crowd also held
its breath when Davis had to leave
the game, but it was reported late
last night that he wasn't severely
injured.
In the first inning the Twins
jumped on Hewlett for four runs
on three hits and an error. After
Collins famed, Leach reached
safely when Hardisky booted his
roller. Denning was hit by a Hew-
lett curve, and McQuillen beat
out an infield hit to load the bases.
Jackson famed, but Miller prompt
ly singled scoring Leach and Den
ming, and Goodwin tripled to deep
left center scoring McQuillen and
Miller. Then Hewlett shut the
door.
The BUGS got two back in their
half of the first inning off Doyle
Williams, Twin highlander. Har-
disky opened with a two Dagger to
right, and moved to third after
Benton hoisted to right. Leblanc
walked and stole second. With
two run in scoring position,
Bridges earned his nights pay
by drilling a single to right CEN
ter for the two markers.
Both hurlers moved along hang
ing up h~orsecollars until the Pj-
rate sixth, when four hits produc-
ed just one run, and the locals
lost a grand chance to go ahead.
Davis started things off with
his third straight single. Andy
Poklemba doubled to left, and
Davis a out going into third
base. Bob Steckel grounded out,
but Jim Taton singled Poklemba
home. Hewlett beat out a hit
to keep the rally alive, but Har-
disky famed.

with such new stars as Levy King
of softball fame, Harold Horton,
who formerly played with the
Wilmington Glass D. League Pr
rates, Scrubby Diel, and Tracy
Duval. Also back in uniform is
big Donald Pepper, who was out
of the lineup all last year with a
