Sunday, May 28)
The Braves increased their cur
rent win streak to five straight
games on Sunday afternoon, when
they won the second of their three
game series with York by a score of
9 to l. Charlie Higham went the
route and although he gave up eight
hits, he offset that by striking out
nine. Danny Long was his catcher
Joe Stelmack, right-hander (the
losing pitcher), started for York, and
Bob Curtis, another Highlander,
took over the pitching chores in the
sixth Eckert was behind the plate.
The game was again featured by
the fine defensive work of the Hag-
erstown team, who played errorless
ball, and the infield again came up
with two double plays, both of
which snuffed out possible York raj
lies.
York got their one and only
run in the top half of the first
when, with one away, Martinich
tripled to the corner of the fence
in left field and scored on Burns
single to left, but Higham then
then struck out Van Alstyne and
Hudasek
A walk and an infeld hit put two
men on base with none out in the
second, but quick throw from Long
to Simmons caught the man on sec
ond off base, and then a double play
retired the side. Then in the sew
enth, with two men on and no
body out, Higham got the next bat
ter to fly to Tufano at center and
then forced Overland to hit into an
other fast double play to retire the
side. The final threat of York came
in the eighth inning when they load
ed the bases with two out on a sin
gle to right, a walk and an infeld
single, but Jesse Levan took care
of that situation very nicely when
he raced back and took Van AL
styne's long fly to retire the side.
The Braves put the game on ice in
the second inning when ten men went
to bat, and six big runs were scored
after two were out Tufano, the
first man up, flied to center and
Heinbaugh went out second to first
Tom Astbury then got the first of
his three hits in four times at bat
when he singled to right. Stelmack
then walked Long and Higham to
fill the bases. Then, with Simmons
at bat. Astbury scored on a passed
ball, with Long moving to third and
Higham to second. Simmons then
came through with solid single to
right, scoring Long and Higham,
and then Simmons stole second.
Heap was up next and he rammed a
three-bagger to the flag pole in cen
ter field, almost to the identical spot
that his three-bagger on Saturday
night went to, scoring Simmons with
the fourth run. Levan got the third
walk Of the inning, and Tedesco
scored both runners with a lucky
double to left. The ball, high fly
that would have been an easy out,
hit the wire in fair territory and
Burns had no chance to field it. Tu-
fano, up for the second time in the
shining, grounded out to retire the
side.
Hagerstown added another run in
the fifth inning when, with two away,
Tufano, who had walked and stole
second, scored on Astbury's dou-
Bile to left. Then they came back
IN the eighth for their two final
runs. With one away, Curtis, who
had replaced Stelrnack on the mound
in the sixth, walked Long, Higham
land Simmons to fill the bases with
none out Heap forced Simmons at
second with Long scoring on the
play and Higham going to third
fsevan was up next and he got an
mfeld hit, scoring Higham, but
when Heap tried to go all the way to
third, he was thrown out ending the
inning.
