! Second Game
Bud Niles went the route in the
nine-inning second game and pitched
honey of game. He shut York
out in every inning but the sixth,
when they scored their lone run, and
only allowed four hits. He had four
strikeouts and walked two. DUSTY"
Hersom was his catcher.
! Nelson Reeves, a Highlander, who
went into the game with record of
three and three, went the distance
for the White Roses and Crawford
was his battery mate. Although he
gave up seven hits and walked four
Che had six strikeouts), he, too, shut
out the Braves in all but the sixth
frame. While his team mates made
two errors, they came up with three
double-plays, which helped consider
ably.
Ray Bortz, playing at third in
place of Lloyd Freund, was the only
Hagerstown batter to get two hits,
but the big blow was Hersom's three
Dagger that drove in both Hagers-
town runs.
Bortz's single in the top half of the
first and walk to Billy Smith, after
Lind and linn had both flied out, put
runners on first and second, but Her
som forced Smith at second to retire
the side.
York also had a scoring chance
in the bottom half when, with one
away, single to center, an error
and an infield hit loaded the bases.
But the threat ended in a hurry when
the next batter lined to linn, who
whipped the ball to Lind for an easy
double play
A walk to Canterna and single
by Riddle in the second with one
away, presented another scoring
chance, but a double play erased it.
Both teams had a scoring chance
in the fourth. In the top half, Billy
Smith opened with a single, but Her
som flied out and Tufano hit into a
double play. And in the bottom half
Plate opened with a double, but Niles
then got the next three batters with
out any trouble.
Then came the sixth, when all the
scoring was done.
In the top half, Reeves got Bortz,
the first man up, on a fly to center
and Lind went out third to first. But
then, after getting one strike on
linn, he walked him on four straight
balls and followed that up by walk
ing Billy Smith, also on four straight
balls-it was not an intentional walk.
Hersom than stepped to the plate
and with the count two balls and one
strike, lined one into left-center field
that rolled to the fence, scoring Lind
and linn, with Dusty pulling up at
third with triple. But Reeves then
struck out Tufano and the inning was
over.
In the bottom half, Niles walked
Bruce Smith, the first man I'D, but
Plate forced him at second. Craw-
ford then flied to Tufano in right
center and when Lou threw direct to
Riddle at first, trying to get Plate off
first, Plate tagged up and raced to
second and slid in safely. Raehse
then singled to right scoring Plate,
but Billy Smith threw him out at
second when he tried to stretch it
into a double, to retire the side.
Niles then set the White Roses
down in the last three frames with
out hit
The Braves had another scoring
chance in the eighth. Bortz beat
out a hit to short and went to second
when MacCallum made a bad throw
to first. But Lind fouled out to the
catcher and Bortz was doubled off
second on quick throw by Craw-
ford to MacCallum. 1t was an I'M
usual double play that evidently
caught Bortz mapping. linn followed
with a single to center, but Smith
flied to left for the third out.
In the eighth, with one away. Tu-
fano singled to center, stole second
and went to third when Crawford
