The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1951-05-31
SALISBURY HERE
Thursday, May "a

In pitifully one-sided game on
Thursday night, the Braves beat the
Salisbury Athletics by score of Is
to 3, to give them their eighth
straight win.
The first of the three-game series,
scheduled for Wednesday night, was
rained out and will be played at a
later date.
Jerry LevinSon went all the way
and had an easy time, setting the
Athletics down without hit through
the first five innings. Jim Solt was
his catcher. Bob Bassler, a right
handler, who was knocked out in the
second frame, was the losing pitcher
and he was relieved by Randy Phil
lips, a lefthander, with Williams,
another Highlander, taking over in
the ninth, Drake was behind the
plate.
Salisbury scored an unearned run
in the top half of the second, when
DiMenna who had walked, reached
second on an infeld out and went
to third after the catch when Drake
flied out to deep left field, scored on
Monte's grounder when Billy Smith
dropped the peg from Lind.
The roof really fell in the bottom
half when the Salisbury defense
went to pieces and five runs crossed
the plate, with II men going to bat.
Lind, the first man up, beat out a
bunt down the third base line and
went to third on Tufano's single to
center. Freund forced Tufano at
second, with Lind scoring on the
play and Freund then stole second.
Jim Solt was up next and singled
to left scoring Freund and moving
to second himself on the throw-in.
Levinson came right behind with
another single to left, with Solt
stopping at third, but when the left
fielder let the ball get by him, Solt
scored on the error and Levinson
moved to second. Glunt made the
second out when he grounded to
short and the side should have been
retired when Canterna hit one down
to DeMont at third base, but he boot
ed the ball and both Canterna and
Levinson were safe on the error.
Smith then singled to center scor-
ing Levinson, with Canterna going
to third and Smith going to second
on the throw-in. Perrin then got an
intentional pass filling the bases.
Lind, up for the second time in the
inning, also walked, forcing in Can
terna with the fifth run, but Tufano,
the eleventh man up, ended the de-
bacle by popping up to the catcher.
The Braves made it II in the
third. With two away and Solt on
second by virtue of his double to
right, Glunt singled to center send
ing Solt to third, and when Book
let the ball get away from him, Solt
scored on the error and Glunt moved
to second, from where he scored on
Canterna's single.
That was all the scoring until the
sixth, when II Hagerstown batters
again went to the plate and six
more runs came in.
Canterna, the first man up, was
safe when the shortstop's throw pull
ed the first baseman off the bag.
Smith walked and Perrin followed
with a double to center scoring Can
terna and Smith. Perrin then moved
to third on wild pitch. Lind got
base on balls and Tufano singled
to center scoring Perrin with Lind
stopping at second Freund walked,
filling the bases, and Solt got his
third hit of the night, a single to
left, scoring Lind and Tufano, with
Freund stopping at third. Levin
son struck out and Glunt forced Solt
at second for out number two. Can
terna, UP for the second time in the
inning, singled to right scoring
Freund, but Smith, the eleventh man
