The Owls took a one-run lead in
the first inning when Jenis singled,
stole second, went to third on a
wild pitch and scored on Hum
phrey's infield hit. Wigle and Sa-
bine then settled down to a real
pitchers duel for the next five in
nings, Sabine being particularly eff
fective in the fourth, when, after
filling the bases with walks and
only one out, he struck out Jenis
and Dresser to retire the side
In the sixth frame Wigle both
pitched and fielded himself out of
a really tough spot Cusick opened
the inning with a double Lienesch
grounded to Dresser, who held the
runner on second and then threw
the batter out at first. Sanicki, up
next, banged one down the third
base line. Dresser got his glove on
the ball. DETECTING it to Daddario
who was backing UP the play. Wig
lie covered third base on the play
and fielding Daddario's throw per-
fectly, nailed Sanicki sliding into
third for the second out. Murphy
was safe on Daddario's error, but
Rice went out, Daddario to Jenis,
to end the threat.
The Owls took a 81 lead in the
/ seventh, both runs scoring after
two were out Dresser singled,
went to third on Humphreys single
and scored on Yeash's single. Dad
dario followed with the fourth
straight hit, single to center, scor-
ing Humphrey. Martin then ground
ed to Murphy at first to retire the
side.
Romello opened the Blue Rocks
half of the eighth with a single,
but Cusick went out to Hest in
centerfeld and Lienesch hit into
the Owls fourth double play-their
105th of the year-to end the in
ming
With only three men between him
and a 80 shutout, Wigle ran into
bunch of trouble in the ninth.
Sanicki, the first man up, ground
ed to Dresser, who booted the ball
for an error. Murphy walked and
Rice's single to short left filled the
bases. Turner then singled to right,
+ scoring Sanicki and leaving the
I sacks loaded. Davis popped up to
Jenis, and Wnek, batting for Sa-
bine, went down swinging for the
/ second out. Romello was up next
and he hunted down the third base
line and beat it out, scoring Muir
ply and still leaving every base
occupied. Cusick then tripled to
deep center, cleaning the bases for
total of five runs in the inning.
Miller then relieved Wigle and re-
tired Lienesch on a grounder to Da-
ddario to retire the side.
Dommer went to the mound in
the bottom half of the ninth and
retired the Owls without hit.
