The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1948-08-05

Inc OWLS got lnelI ITSl run IN the
second inning, when Daddario, who
had beat out hit to second base,
scored on Bobby Martins double.
Run number two came in the third
frame, when with two out, Claude
Christie slammed one over the cen
terrified wall.
5 Still peeking away at that big lead
of Wilmington's, Hagerstown picked
up their third run in the fourth,
when with two out, Bolton grounded
to Rufer, who fielded the ball, but
then made bad throw to first, with
the result that Bolton pulled up at
second on the error, from where he
scored on Ermer's single to left.
Wilmingtons lead was trimmed
down to four runs in the fifth, when
with one out, Christie beat out hit
to short, and then Daddario slammed
one over the right-feld wall to
bring in runs four and five.
1t was 81, Wilmington, in the
sixth. Bolton, the first man up, hit
in front of the plate, and Werner
threw him out at first. Ermer then
grounded to Dykes at second, who
booted the ball for an error, and
Ermer was safe at first Jenis then
singled to left, with Ermer stop
ping at second, and Hal Keller then
came out of his batting slump with
slashing double to center that
drove in Ermer and Jenis with runs
six and seven.
1t looked as if the Owls had lost
their big chance in the seventh,
when single by Ed Yeash, walk
to Polinski, a sacrifice by Martin and
walk to Bolton, filled the bases,
with one out, only to have Radcliffe,
who was pitching at that time, bear
down and get Yeash on a force-out
at the plate and then strike out Jen-
is to end the inning.
But the Owls refused to be licked,
and they won the game in the eighth,
when four big runs crossed the plate.
Keller started things off by getting
base on balls. Claude Christie
followed with a double to center,
sending Keller to third. George
Daddario then connected with his
fourth hit, single to center, that
scored Keller and Christie with the
tying runs. Ed Yeash then laid down
a perfect sacrifice bunt, sending Dad
dario to second, but when Horton
(who had relieved Radcliffe) boot
ed the ball, Daddario went all the
way to third, and Yeash pulled up
at second on the error. Polinski was
then given an intentional pass to fill
the bases and make play possible
at every bag. But then, with the in
field playing in to cut off run at
the plate, Bobby Martin cracked a
single over the head of Rudy Rufer,
the shortstop, scoring Daddario with
run number ten and Yeash with
number eleven.
Bolton was up next, and he laid
down sacrifice bunt, sending Pc
linski to third and Martin to second,
and then Ermer was given an in
territorial pass to again fill the bases,
with one out. But Jenis' attempted
bunt was quickly folded by Jankow-
ski (the last Wilmington pitcher),
who threw to Werner in time to get
Polinski at the plate, and Werner's
relay to Goliat nipped Jenis at first,
for the double play that retired the
side.
With that two-run lead to work on
in the ninth, Don Bolton got Hasen-
mayer on an easy grounder from Err
mer to Jenis; Hollmig was retired on
high fly to Keller at center, and
then Bolton ended the game, as all
pitchers SHOULD, by getting Rufer on
a strike-out.
