7wins Batter Warsaw:
Leafs Take Spin Set

Only Dunn-Erwin of the first
division clubs managed to take a
victory in the Tobacco State league
last night as Sanford and Whining
ton fell by the wayside to the
seventh and eighth place ball
teams, Wilmington losing to Red
Springs, 7-6, and the Splnners
dropping a 7-2 affair to Smithfield-
Selma. The Twins walloped the
Warsaw Red Sox, 1872, in the only
other Weed loop encounter. The
Clinton-Lumber1on contest at Gin
ton was rained out.
Carl McQuillen blasted his 18th
home run last night and batted in
four runs in Dunn-ErWin's 15-2
crushing of the Warsaw Red Sox.
Tony Polink, newly acquired
Twin flipper, blazed his fifth
straight win against no losses
down the slot before the starry
eyed Crimson Hose. Polink struck
out four and walked three.
The game looked like a pitching
duel between Warsaw's Ensley and
Polink during the first three in
nings when neither club could
tally. The Twins broke things up
in the fourth, however, when they
crossed the plate eight times on
seven hits. one walk, n hit bat
ter, and one wild pitch.
The Dunn-Erwin win, coupled
with Wilmington's defeat cut the
Pirates place lead over the Twins
to five and one-half games.
For the second straight night
the Sanford front office told their
stars to go out and have a good
time!" Last night at Smithfield
the pitching staff was once again
thrown at any position available
for a contest with the eighth place
Leafs, who whipped the second
string Spinned crew, II.
1t may have been fun for the
players, but the sports fans at
Smithfield did not share in the
happy holiday. They paid their
money to see Hank Nesselrode,
Bruce Hedrick, and Jim Wilson,
and were a little disguised when
the trio did not show up at game
time.
Smithfield watched starter Bra
dy get slammed for two runs, but
came back behind Osossky to
counter six runs in the seventh
inning with Colones' home run the
big blow.
Tonight Wilmington plays the
Leafs at Smithfield. There will
be a wedding at home place be-

Norris put in 18-year-old Harold
general diamond handyman
for the Robins who takes a regular
turn at the mound, to bat for
catcher Papa, and Wood slashed a
single into left field that started
a two-run rally to cop the con-
test. Fred Hockenbury replaced
Wood as a runner, moved to third
on A. W. Rogers single, and anne
home a moment later on Bobby
Wolfe's third hit of the night to
score the tying run. Johnny Edens
relieved Stephenson to pitch to
Wolfe, and Joe Mangini, the sec
ond man to face him, sewed up
the game with a single to left
center that scored Rogers and as
sured Stephenson of a loss.
1t was the ninth win in their last
10 games for the Robins, who
have been a thorn in the side Of
the Pirates the year long. They
pounded II hits off Stephenson and
the two off Edens made a total Of
10 base-blows. They scored six
runs In the last four innings to
take the game.
For a while, it looked al1-Wil-
mington, with the BUGS rolling up
a 80 margin with a single tally
in the first and two more in the
third at the expense Of starter
Tom Jackson. Bobby Parnell, who
took his place on the mound when
the Pirates began slaughtering him
in the third. took credit for the
win.
The initial Buc run came in the
first with a double by Billy Ben
ton and an errored grounder OF
|Hoggy Davis moving the walked
IMusumeci around the sacks. Musu-
meci beat out an infield hit to
open the third, and Benton lifted
a tremendous to l%eft-center, where
he almost never hits, to score the
speedy shortstop. Benton romped
home on a flashing double to the
same spot by Davis, and that was
all for Jackson. Parnell got out
of the spot easily, Poklemba fly
ing out and Bob Steckel and Jim
Station tanning.
Red Springs collected a couple
of hits and a long fly to score
once in the fourth after some
fancy Pirate Unfolding and out
fielding, including two double
plays, had stopped them short OF
the plate in earlier innings. Andy
Poklemba retaliated with his sew

fifth, but Red Springs made il

Rogers, Wolfe, Mangini and Par
