In the first game, Hagerstown shut
out the Red Roses 20 behind the five

hit to win 60.

first inning when the Owls scored
four CT their five runs, but he settled
right down after that and only gave
up two hits the rest of the way. He
struck out eight batters (three of
them in the second inning), and he
gave up four walks. Eyrich pitched
the last inning, after Radcliffe was
taken out in the eighth for a pinch
hitter.
Barney Schultz pitched a beautiful
shut-out game through the first eight

ton scored all three of their runs.

the fourth frame. Rooms, the first
man up, hit slow roller down the
third base line. Hasenmayer charg-

runs in the sixth. James, the first
man up, got base on balls. Arm

when Ole folded the bunt and made
a bad throw to first, Feltman was
safe on the error. Don Meyers then
laid down a perfect bunt along the
third base line. Ole fielded the ball,
but his throw to lack was too late
to get Martin going to third, and the
bases were full. Yeash was up next
and he forced Martin at the plate
for the first out, and Feltman and
Meyers both moved up a base on the
throw to the plate. Daddario then
flied out to James in right, with
Feltman scoring after the catch.
Rooms grounded out to end the in
ming.
Stratton started off the ninth in
ming by walking both James and
Armstrong. Thaxton, hitting for Ole,
then grounded out, with both runners

ted for Usciak and also grounded
out, with James scoring on the play,
to leave the Red Roses just one run
behind, with two out and a man on

KEFDEAG UD
WITH THE OWLS
By Doug Stewart

by the time he recovered and threw
to first, Rooms was safe. 1t was
scored, however, as an infield hit.
Jenis then sacrificed him to second,
but Radcliffe got Christie on a
third called strike for out number
two. Schultz then belted single to
right, scoring Rooms. Martin struck
out to end the inning. Radcliffe
then shut the Owls out in the three
innings and Eyrich also shut them
out in the eighth.
While all this was going on, Bar
ney Schultz was pitching beautiful
shut-out ball for eight innings. The
Blue Rocks were retired in order
the first two innings. In the third
frame, with one away, Werner got
base on balls, but Radcliffe hit a
grounder to George Daddario, who
stepped on second to force Werner,
and then threw to Jenis for the
double play.
Wilmington got their first hit in
the fourth frame, when Dykes, the
first man up, beat out hit to Mar
tin at second. But Rufer took
third called strike; Lorenz popped
up to Daddario, and Goliat ended
the inning by forcing Dykes at sec
ond.
With two out in the fifth, Whalen
drew the second walk given up by
Schultz. but Werner then struck out
to end the inning.
1t was three up and three down in
the sixth, and in the seventh Lor-
enz, the first man up, got the third
base on balls given up by Schultz
and then went to second on a balk.
But he died there, as Goliat, Levan
and Hasenmayer went out in order.
The Blue Rocks got their second
hit in the eighth frame, when with
one out, Werner singled to right.
Oswald then batted for Radcliffe and
was safe on first on Mike Rooms err
ror. But Dykes hit into a fast dou-
BILE play, Daddario to Jenis, to re-
tire the side.
But in the top half of the ninth,
Barney ran into plenty of trouble.
Rufer, the first man up, singled to
right and Lorenz followed with
double to left, with Rufer going to
third. Goliat flied to short right
field but Bobby Martin went back
and made beautiful catch and
neither runner could advance. Lev
an then slapped one over the center
field wall, scoring behind Rufer and
Lorenz. Hasenmayer was the next
man up, and he beat out a hit to
second, and went to third on Whal-
ems double to left. Werner then
flied out to short left field, and again
both. runners were held on base,
thanks to Barney Schultz's backing
up of Christie, the catcher. Yeash
whipped the ball into the infield, but
it got by everyone. Barney, how
ever, was right on his toes, and re-
covered the throw, whipping it to
Christie, with the result that Wal
en-, who had started for the plate
when he saw the ball getting away,
scampered back to third in hurry.
Eyrich, who had relieved Radcliffe
after he was taken out for pinch
hitter in the eighth, then smacked
one through the box. Schultz man
aged to get his glove on it, DETECTING
it enough for Daddario to grab it
and toss Eyrich out at first, to re-
tire the side and end the game.

DOUBLE PLAYS

Through Tuesday night, with 81
games played, the Owls had COM
pleted 81 double plays-26 at home
and II on the road. This is less
than they had completed last year
with the same number of games
played.
Of the IS games that the Owls
have lost since the season started
eight have been dropped by one
run margin, while in four of the
games lost, they were leading until
the last inning
Ii will be a long time before a
pitcher will give a finer exhibition
of clutch pitching than was given
by Barney Schultz in the seventh
inning of that eleven-inning game
with Wilmington on Monday night.
When Barney came to the mound
to start the eighth inning, he re-
ceived a tremendous ovation from
the $500 fans who were present for
the game, and he received another
fine ovation when he left the mound
in the eleventh inning, even though
he had lost the game by one run.
