McDonough Gym. 1t was the sea-
son windup for both teams, leav-

The result also gives Maryland

Mats run in the first inning after
Weik had walked Billy DeMars
and Dick Kokos popped a single
into centerf1eld.
Sherman Lollar, attempting to
sacrifice, popped to Micked Crosse
in front of the plate. In his haste
to catch Kokos off first Grasso
threw wild past Sam Dente, COW
ering the base, and DeMars
rounded third and headed for the
plate.
A photographer stationed near
the plate failed to remove himself
from the vicinity despite being in
line with Denies return throw to
Grasso. The ball struck him and
DeMars scored and Kokos streaked
all the way to third. Weik averted
further trouble by disposing of
Roy Sievers on a fly to short left
and tanning Hank ART. He re-
tired IL batters in order, in fact,
and didn't give up his second hit
until Lollar singled to left with
two out in the sixth.
Carver Puts Down Threat.
Meanwhile, the Mats weren't
disturbing Carver. Eddie Robin
son walked to start the second in
ming and with one out Dente sin
gled, but Merrill Combs lined out
and Grasso grounded out.
Washington threatened to lock
the score in the sixth when Eddie
Yost singled to left, went to Sec
ond when Gil Coan grounded out
and took third when Carver threw
into centerfeld trying to pick Yost
off second. In that situation,
though, Ed Stewart popped to
Second Baseman Owen Friend and
Robinson flied out.
Weik invited more trouble in
the eighth when he walked the
weak-hitting Friend to give up
his fifth base on balls. Carver
sacrificed and DeMars brought
Friend across with a triple to
right. Kokos followed with dou-
BILE to center, scoring DeMars.
Combs scooped up Lollar's
grounder and nailed Kokos trying
to take third and Sievers struck
out, but that scant damage in
flicted on Weik was enough.
Carver. who walked only two,
retired II Mats in order until Rob-
inson lashed a single off the right
field fence with two out in the
ninth, but the Mats fast-dyine
hopes expired when Sam Mele
struck out.
