baseball season saw the Locomo'
tives split a two-game series with
the Panthers from Roundup. Ir
games that were we'll played fol-
this early in the season the
Roundup team drove in two runs
in the ninth inning off the bat
of short stop McKiernan, to
break up a three-all game. In
the return match in Laurel Tues
day afternoon three Laurel pitch
ers combined to shut out the Wis
itors 9 to O.
In the first game at Roundup
the locals came from behind a
8 to l count to tie the game in
the seventh. Although a double
by Wilson in the ninth turned
into an out as he tried to stretch
it to third, it looked for a mo-
ment like it was the needed
break. However, it was Round
up who added the thriller in their
half of the game.
The three pitchers used by
Laurel showed good control and
struck out a total of II batters
while only giving up three walks
and four hits. Kayo Milhalovich
hurled the full game for the Pan
theirs and was equally as eff
effective in whiting 16 Laurel
batters and allowing but three
hits. Jim Wilson poled two of
them, one for three bases and
another for a double. Wayne
Hageman, Jim Wilson and fresh
man Herman Wagner each hurl-
ed three innings.
Wagner in his first high school
game struck out the first four
batters to face him, and five in
the three innings he hurled. How
ever he vas touched for two hits
in the ninth, n a pay-off triple
that broke up the ball game.
The second game, played Tues
day saw a Laurel club strength
ened with the addition of Jim
Phillips and Bill Sorg, roll in
nine runs off nine hits, to shut
out Roundup and gain their first
baseball victory over the Panth-
ers in three years.
Phillips started on the mound
for Laurel, and in his three min
utes gave up two hits and one
walk while his teammates built
up a three-run lead. Jim Will
son who drove in Sorg in the
first with a sharp single, wallop-
ed a home run with two men
aboard in the third to personally
account for the first four runs.
Wayne Hageman hurled the next
two innings and added a double
at bat to aid his WI cause.
He gave up one hit. Herman
Wagner who finished the game
that was called at the end of
the seventh, allowed but one hit
in turning in another good mound
performance.
Laurel continued to play error
less ball in the field and run
in five more runs. The Locomo-
tives committed only one error,
Roundup bobbled six and each
side whitfield six times.
The first district playoff will
be here Thursday afternoon
against Joliet, starting at $3.50. !
The second game is slated for
Fromberg next Thursday in the
round-robin to determine the
to go against the win
1er of the Roundup-Billings-
