Second Game
Although Hagerstown lost the
nine-inning second game, they had
the satisfaction of coming up with
their first triple play of the year, that
came in the top half of the fifth.
Burrichter, the first man up, sin
gled to left. Swederske sacrificed
him to second and then, when
Bench dropped the ball after field
ing it, Swederske was safe at first.
Comiskey was up next and he hit a
line drive to Bench, who wheeled
and threw to Milicevich to get Bur-
richter before he could get back to
second for the second out, and Mi
licevich then rified the ball to Beard
in time to nip Swederske before he
could get back, to complete the
triple play.
Schmidt, highlander, went the
route for the Cards to chalk up his
ninth win. He has lost seven. Bob
Comiskey was his catcher.
Jack Bench, a Highlander, who
was sent in by Hartford, make his
first start for Hagerstown, was charg-
ed with the loss. Reardon came in
in the eighth and Bob Pottenger was
behind the plate.
Allentown took a two-run lead in
the top half of the third. Joyner,
the first man up, doubled to left.
Killinger took third called strike,
and Marolewski grounded to Ted
esco at third, who booted the ball,
with Joyner going to third and
Marolewski being safe at first on
the error. Then, when Tedesco fin
ally fielded the ball, he made wild
throw to first, with Joyner scoring
and Marolewski moving to second
on TedeSco's second error in the
play Corbett walked, but Bur-
richter forced him at second for the
second out, with Marolewski NOV
ing to third, from where he scored
on Swederske's single to left. Co.
miskey then hit grounder that hit
Swederske as he was going down to
second, for the automatic out. It
was scored as single for Comiskey,
with second baseman Simmons get
ting the putout on Swederske.
That was all the scoring until the
seventh, when with one on, Gene
Corbett, the Allentown manager
who was playing first base, smacked
one high over the rightfeld wall.
In the ninth, with Joe Reardon
pitching, the Cards put on another
three-run splurge to give them
10 lead. Killinger opened the in
ming with a double to right and af-
ter Marolewski flied out, Corbett hit
a grounder to short and Milicevich
elected to try for Killinger going in
to third, but Tedesco was off the
bag and both runners were safe on
the fielder's choice. Burrichter was
up next and he singled to right,
scoring Killinger and sending Cor
bett to third. Swederske came right
behind him with a double to CEN
ter, scoring Corbett and Burrichter.
Comiskey was up next and he forced
Swederske at third, but Schmidt
kept the rally going when he got
the fourth hit of the inning, single
to right, with ComiSkey stopping
at second. Reardon then struck out
Koppenhaver to end the inning.
Hagerstown's lone run came in
the bottom half. With two away,
Perrin grounded to Swederske at
third, who threw wild to first with
Perrin going all the way to second
on the error, from where he scored
on Tufano's single to left. Schmidt
then ended the game by striking
out Milicevich-it was his eleventh
strikeout.
