The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1950-05-25
Second Game

game, the second game, which was
called at the end of the eighth in
ming due to the Interstate curfew rul-
ing, which states that no inning can
be started after 1850 pm, turned
out to be one of those wild and woody
games-there were a total of seven
errors with both sides coming up
with a big seventh inning. The final
score was 1878 in favor of Trenton.
Andy Anderson started for Hag-
erstown, but was taken out for
pinch-hitter in the Braves big sew
enth inning, when they scored five
of their eight runs with the scores
63 against him, and was relieved by
Ray Bradford, who was tagged with
the loss. He, in turn, was relieved
in the Giants big seventh splurge,
when they pushed six big runs across
Gall charged to Bradford), and was
relieved by Don Weidercht, who, by
the way, asked to be placed on the
voluntary retired list after the game
was over Danny Long was behind
the plate.
Warren Ley, lefthander, started
for Trenton, but was knocked out in
the seventh and was relieved by Joe
Miciche, another southpaw, who got
credit for the win. Jim Arbucho
pitched the eighth inning, after
Miciche had been lifted for pinch
hitter in the bottom half of the sew
enth. Herb Boetto did the catching.
Although Ley walked nine men
in the first six innings, he was tough
in the clutches, with the result that
the Braves only picked up three
runs. But they got to him in the sew
enth, when the walks caught up with
him. On the other hand, although
Anderson struck out eight batters in
the six innings he pitched, he also
gave up 13 hits. He got the last two
men to face him in the fourth on
strikeouts and followed that by
striking out the first two men up in
the fifth, but then, before he could
get the third man (also on strike
out), he was nicked for four straight
hits (including a double by the
pitcher).
The Braves took a one-run lead in
the first, when Heap, who had walked
and moved to third on Tedesco's sim
gle, stole home on a double steal.
1t was 20 Hagerstown in the top
half of the second, when Madden
walked, went to second on passed
ball and then moved to third on
wild pitch, from where he scored on
Heaps single.
Trenton broke into the scoring
column in the bottom half, when
Easterbrook singled, went to second
when Cunningham walked, ad scored
on Robins single. And then they
tied it up in the third, when Kor
czowski singled, moved to second
on Myers single and scored on Co.
lombo's single.
The Giants came right back in the
fourth to go ahead So With two
away, Ley doubled and. moved to
third on Korczowski's third straight
hit, a single to left. Myers then
singled to right, scoring Ley, and
when Madden booted the ball,
Korczowski went to third and My
ers to second on the error. Colombo
followed with another single to right,
scoring both runners. Easterbrook
then struck out to retire the side.
The Braves picked up their third
run in the fifth, when Tedesco tripl-
ed and scored on Heinbaugh's long
fly to right.
1t was 6-3 Trenton in the sixth,
when Metral singled and went to
second when Ley laid down a per-
feet bunt and beat it out. Myers
then walked, filling the bases, and
Metral scored after the catch on
Colombo's fly to center.
Then came the top half of the sew
enth, when Hagerstown went ahead,
8-6, on two hits. Tufano opened the
inning with single and then Ley
walked Heinbaugh and Madden to
fill the bases. Long then grounded
to Colombo at third, who made a
wild throw to the plate, with Tufano
and Heinbaugh scoring on the error,
Maddern moving to third and Long
to second. That was all for Ley, and
Miciche took over. Bob Pottenger,
batting for Anderson, also walked,
again loading the sacks. Miciche
then struck out Simmons and got
Heap on an infield fly, but Jesse Lee
van came through with the second
hit of the inning a triple to right,
scoring all three runners. Tedesco,
the ninth man up, got base on ball
