three-game series with the Cards by
score of 3 to 2.
Although Bennett was touched
for 10 hits-three of them doubles

the fourth inning, when they scor-
ed both their runs. He struck out
three and walked like number.
Terrell and Pottenger divided the
catching chores
Gregory also gave up 10 hits, in
Guiding three doubles, but he kept
them fairly well scattered and it
was tough game to lose. Osteen
was his battery mate
Hagerstown took a one-run lead
in the second inning. Glunt, the
first man up, walked Tedesco
flied to left and Harbaugh. ground
ed out second to first, but Terrell

fourth, when Allentown went ahead

singled to right and went to third
ION Joyner's double to center. Van
Heuitt grounded to Bennett, who
held both runners and then threw
Van Heuitt out at first. Marolewski
dumped one in front of the plate,
but Terrell pounced on it, held up
both runners and then threw Marc
5lewski out at first, but Swederske
got a sharp single to left scoring
both Kelchner and Joyner and when
Levan let the ball get by him, Swed-
erske took third on the error. But
Bennett then got Killinger on fly
to center to end the rally.
That was all the scoring until the
sixth, when the Braves tied it up.
linn led off with a single to right
and Lind sacrificed him to second.
The play was made to second, but
it was too late to get linn and Lind
was safe at first on the fielder's
choice. Levan followed with sin
gle to left and when Killinger field
ed the ball and made perfect peg
to the plate, linn, who had round
ed third, hustled back, but Lind was
caught between second and third
and was tagged out, with Levan
taking second on the play and linn
holding third. Burgett then ground
ed to Swederske at third, whose
throw to the plate was in plenty of
time to get linn, but Osteen dropped
the ball and linn scored on the err
ror, with Levan moving to third and
Burgett being safe at first. Glunt
fouled to Marolewski for the sec
ond out and Tedesco grounded out
second to first to retire the side.
From then on, until the bottom
half of the 18th, neither side could
dent the plate. Hagerstown loaded
the bases in the seventh with two
out. Harbaugh, the first man up,
singled to right and went to second
when Osteen threw the ball away
trying to pick him off first. Terrell
flied out and Bennett lined out, but
linn was given an intentional pass
and Lind also walked, to fill the
bases, but Levan ended that rally
by grounding out.
They had the sacks loaded again
in the tenth but Gergory again shut
the door in their faces. Levan got
an infield hit and Burgett sacrificed
him to second. Glunt was given an
intentional pass, but Tedesco pop
ped up for the second out. Har-
baugh also walked, filing the bases
but Simmons, who replaced Lind at
short in the eighth, forced Harbaugh
