The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1950-06-01
TRENTON HERE
(Thursday, Nav 25)


With their hitting clothes still on.
the Braves poured it on Trenton
again on Thursday night, winning
by score of II to 2 (the identical
score of Wednesday nights game).
The win put them three full games
ahead of the second-place Whining
ton Blue Rocks, who again lost to
York.
HOWE Anderson pitched a swell
game and coasted all the way, hang
ing up goose eggs in all but the fifth
and seventh innings He scattered
eight hits, struck out six and only
walked one batter. Danny Long
was his catcher.
Carroll Mattson, right handler,
and the slowest pitcher in the
league, started for Trenton and was
charged with the loss. He was
knocked out in the fourth frame, af-
ter giving up five hits and seven
walks and being charged with six
runs. Harry Wilson, another right
handler, relieved him, and he in turn
was knocked out in the fifth, after
giving up three hits, one walk and
four runs. Warren Ley was the third
Trenton pitcher, and he also walked
five men, giving the Braves a total
of thirteen walks in the game. Herb
Boetto was behind the plate.
The game was featured, not only
by Anderson's fine pitching, but also
by the superb fielding of the Hag-
erstoWn club, who came up with
several fielding gems and two more
double plays. 1t is also interesting
to note that Jay Simmons, although
he stepped up to the plate five times,
was only officially at bat once. In
his other four appearances, he walk
ed three times and also reached first
when he was hit by a pitched ball.
Although he went for 0, he wound
up scoring three of the Braves
twelve runs. Lou Tufano got credit
for four RIBS.
Hagerstown took a three-run lead
in the bottom half of the first in
ming. Simmons walked and went to
second on a wild pitch. Heap flied
to left for the first out, but Levan
came through with a single to cen
ter, scoring Simmons. Tedesco fol-
lowed with another single to center,
with Levan stopping at second, and
then Tufano scored both of them
with his double, also to center field.
Heinbaugh then got the fourth
straight hit of the inning, single
to center, but Tufano was thrown
out at the plate when he tried to
score from second, with Heinbaugh
moving to second on the throw-in.
Astbury took a third called strike
to end the inning.
That was all the scoring until the
bottom half of the fourth when the
Braves showed across three more
tallies. With one away, Mattson
walked Long, Anderson and Sim
mons TO fill the bases, and then, with
count on Heap of three balls and
one strike, Wilson went to the
mound. Wilson's first pitch was wide
and Heap also walked, forcing in
Long with the first run of the in
ming and leaving the bases still load
ed. Levan popped up for the. sec
ond out, but Tedesco came through
with single to center, scoring An
derson and Simmons. Tufano went
down swinging to retire the side.
The Braves really poured it on in
the fifth, when eleven men came to
bat. Heinbaugh opened the inning
with a walk and scored on Astbury's
double to left. Then Long followed
with another double to the same spot,
scoring Astbury. Anderson was
then thrown out short to first, with
Long moving to third. Wilson then
