York started Tom Segzda, but
Hagerstown got to him with three
runs in the first inning, and then
knocked him out of the box in the
fourth frame, and Stratton came in
and pitched the rest of the way, but
he also had pretty rough time Of
it. Paul Nottingham was behind
the plate.
There isn't much more to tell about
York's performance at the plate
The first man up in the first inning
singled and was sacrificed to sec
ond. but that's as far as he got, and
then in the second frame, Plate, the
first man up, walked, and Angel
singled to left, with Plate stopping
at second. But the next man pop
ped up, and Ancherico struck out
the next two batters to retire the
side.
1t was three up and three down
in the third and fourth. In the fifth
Eddie Struck out the first batter and
then the catcher got a single, . but
died on first when Ancherico pro-
+ ceeded to strike out the next two
batters to face him and retire the
side.
In the sixth, with two outs, jim
Dean, the left fielder, singled to
center, but Plate popped up to third
base to end that threat.
The White Roses got their fifth hit,
with two out, in the seventh, but
Stratton struck out to retire the
side. There was a mild threat in
the eighth when Leslie. the first man
up, singled, and after Lilko flied to
right, Forbes followed with a sin
gle to left, with Leslie stopping at
second. Jim Dean, the next man
up, was Anchericos tenth strike-out
victim, and then Bill Plate popped
up to retire the side.
Ancherico wasted no time in the
ninth, retiring the side in order on
infeld outs.
Now, let's look at what the Owls
were doing. In the first inning
Chaser, the first man up, singled to
center and Kelly followed with a
single to right. Hidden then singled
to left, filling the bases, and then
Nottingham was charged with a
passed ball, allowing Chaser to
score. Keller walked, filling the
bases again, and Hixson flied out to
center, with Kelly scoring after the
catch. Caravello then forced Keller
at the plate for the second out, but
Segzda then walked Crumling and
Mirande, with Mirande's free pass
forcing IN Hidden with the third run.
Ancherico then grounded out to end
the inning.
That was all the scoring until the
fourth, when the Owls picked up
five more tallies to go ahead 80.
Chaser, the first man up, singled to
center and Kelly followed with a
single to left, with Chaser stopping
at second. Hidden struck out, but
Hal Keller tripled to right, scoring
Chaser and Kelly Hixson then
grounded to Like at third, who in
attempting to get Keller at the
plate, hit him in the back and the
run scored on the error. Caravello
followed with single to center,
scoring Hixson, and that was all for
Segzda, and Bill Stratton came in.
Bill, who used to pitch for the
Owls couple of years ago, got his
old battery mate, Gene Crumling,
on short fly back of short, but
Mirande then got his first of three
hits, single to center, with Caravel-
10 racing to third, from where he
scored on Anchericas single to CEN
ter. Then Chaser, up for the sec
ond time, grounded out to end the
big inning
But the Owls were far from
through. They made it so in the
sixth when, with one away, Cara
vello tripled and scored after the
catch when Crumling hit fly to
right. Mirande followed with a sin
gle, but was forced by Ancherico
for the third out.
Then in the eighth the boys ex-
ploded again with fve-hit splurge
that accounted for four more runs.
Hixson opened the inning with
perfect bunt along the third base
line that he beat out by country
mile. Then Caravello topped one
down the third base line, and he
beat it out also, to put men on first
and second with nobody out. Crum-
ling followed with a single to left,
scoring Hixson, and then Mirande
came through with his third straight
