KEFPHAG UD
WITH THE OWLS
By Doug Stewart
AT TRENTON

(Thursday, July l4)

Behind the six-hit pitching of Gene
Major and the terrific clouting of
Hal Keller, the Owls won the third
and final game of the Trenton series
by a score of 81. Major was never
in any serious trouble, five of his
hits being singles in separate in
nings, and the only extra base knock
was a triple in the third. Crumling
was behind the plate.
Corwin (the losing pitcher), who
started for the Giants. was knocked
out in the second inning and was
relieved by Soss, who went the rest
of the way. Hickey was behind the
plate.
The Owls really put the game in
ice in the second frame when they
knocked CorWin out of the box and
scored four runs. In that inning,
while he only gave up two hits, he
walked three and also hit Heinbaugh
with a pitched ball He was taken
out after getting one man out, and
Soss took over
Hagerstown picked up its fifth
run in the fifth frame, and then add
ed three more in the ninth when Hal
Keller smacked one high over the
right field wall, scoring CHASER and
Kelly ahead of him.
Keller had total of four for FIVE,
including a double besides his home
run, and drove in four of the Owls
eight runs. Chaser had one for four,
and got one RBI. Harbaugh had two
for three, and Crumling had one for
three, with two RIBS. Hixson, al
though he didn't get hit, was also
credited with a run batted in.
A feature of the game was the de-
fensive play of the Owls, who came
up with three double plays. The
first went from Heinbaugh to CHASER
to Harbaugh; the second was by
Harbaugh unassisted, and the third
went from Chaser to Harbaugh.
