The Braves made it two straight
over the Giants on Wednesday night
in their best four out-of-seven game
series in the semi-finals for the Gov
ernor's Cup play-offs, by score of
z to 5.

Hagerstown and Bob Pottenger was
his catcher. For Trenton, Easterbrook
(the losing pitcher started but was
knocked out in the seventh and Mic
ciche, who started and lost the game
on Tuesday night, relieved him. Bo-
etto did the catching
Reardon got off to a shalky start
and was hit hard during the first
three innings, during which Trenton
scored 4 of their runs, and he was
also handicapped by the fact that his
infeld came up with three errors in
the third frame. In the fourth the
first man to face him hit home run,
but after that Joe really settled down
and got rid of IL batters before
Trenton got another hit off him
(Which did no damage) and he was
in complete command the rest of the
way.
Trenton took a two-run lead in
the top half of the first. Matte, the
regular catcher who was playing in
rightfield, opened the inning with a
hard drive to within two feet of the
score board in leftfield, but Jesse
Levan raced back and hauled it in.
Myers beat out hit to second and
scored when Colombo followed with
solid double to center. Mays
grounded out, with Colombo moving
to third on the play, from where he
scored on Korczowski's three-bag-
ger to the flag pole. Easterbrook
ended the rally by grounding out to
Harbaugh at first.
The Braves tied it up in the second
inning when Easterbrook lost con-
troll. With one away Easterbrook
walked Perrin, Tedesco and Potten-
ger in order, and then Ray Harbaugh
came through with clean single to
right, scoring Perrin and Tedesco
with the tying runs. Reardon pop
ped up to first, linn got an infield
hit to second with Harbaugh stop
ping at second, but Easterbrook then
struck out Lind to retire the side.
Trenton went ahead Az in the
third, largely because of three cost
ly errors. Myers, the first man up,
hunted along the first baseline and
was safe at first when Harbaugh
booted the ball. Colombo grounded
to linn at second, who made a wild
throw to Lind trying to force Myers
and both runners were safe on the
error. Mays was up next and he
grounded to linn, who stepped or
the bag forcing Colombo at second
