Generals Shove Over
Two ToIIies on Bunts;
Carroll Slab Victor

Bunts with the bases filled pro-
duced two runs for Washington ano
Lee and almost upset Georgetown's
applicant yesterday at the Hilltop
but the Hoyas came back swinging
in their half of the eighth inning
and knocked in three markers to
chalk up q SIS victory. It was the
Generals third consecutive setback
and Georgetown's first win In two
games.
The Hoyas again failed to display
the batting power expected but they
unpacked the hitting wood in the
big inning when singles by Dick
Falvey, Ray Corley, AL Naples and
Johnny Moskafs double sent the
tying winning runs over the plate.
1t was good, tight game all the
way, but you could have howled
over Coach Joe Judge with slow
ball when the Virginians pulled
their bunting strategy in the eighth.
Carroll Puts Out Fire.
Judge started his Buffalo battery
Of Pitcher Tommy Flynn and Mos
kal, intending to yank Flynn after
six innings. But when the Hoyas
failed to run up a comfortable lead
the coach left Flynn In the game
until the eighth when Iceman Billy
Carroll came to his rescue. Together
they held w. and L. to six hits
including bunts.
Buck Leslie started on the mound
for the Generals and was nicked
for four hits before Johnny Ligon
relieved him in the eighth. A
streak of wildness and Art Schult's
infleld hit cost Leslie run in the
first when he walked Ray Corley
forcing over Pete Baker. The Hoyas
touched him for another in the
seventh when Moskal tripled and
came home on George Morehouse's
inf1eld out.
Brian Bell Helps Rally.
W. ana l.. got q run IN the NTH
when Wood singled home Jim Rad
cliffe, who began the circuit by get
ting hit by wild pitch.
Brian Bell, Western High School
alumnus, helped keep the Generals
eight-inning rally going by sacrific-
ing after Radcliffe and Vinson
walked. Don Hillock, another Wash
ington boy, was purposely passed
and Newcomb bunted, scoring
Wood. Vinson came in next or
Workings bunt and then Carroll
went in and put out the fire.
