AT sUNBURY
saturday, Sept. 81


In a comedy of errors, the Braves
made it two straight over the Sun
bury Giants on Saturday night by
score Of 5 to 4. All four of the Sun
bury runs were unearned and only
two of Haeerstown's were legitimate.
Charlie Miller, the winning pitch
err, was taken out i'm the top half of
the ninth for a pinch hitter and Jack
Larson pitched the bottom half and
protected Charles one run lead. Ted
Laguna was behind the plate,
Sunbury's Jack Larson went the
route and Bailey was his battery
mate.
Sunbury took 20 lead in the
third. Cooney, the first man up, beat
out bunt along the third base line.
Frankie lined to Miller, who knock
ed the ball down, but then made a
wild throw to second and both run
ners were safe on the error. Bailey,
attempting to bunt, popped to Mil
Ter and Lefelar popped to linn. Ro-
meo grounded to Zinn, who threw to
Riddle for what should have been
the third out, but Buck dropped the
throw for the second error of the
inning and Cooney scored, with
Frankie going to third, from where
he scored on Reggio's single. Veal
then grounded out to retire the side.
It Was 80 Sunbury in the fourth.
Williams, the first man up, singled
to center. Larson followed with a
single to right, sending Williams to
third and when Jordan let the throw
in get away from him, Williams
scored on the error. But when Lar
son also tried to score, Jordan re-
covered the ball and threw him out
at the plate. Miller then retired the
next two batters in order.
The Braves scored twice in the
fifth. Laguna, the first man up,
walked. Miller popped to short, but
Jaderlund came through with a sim
gle to right, with Laguna stopping
at second Zinn then forced Jader-
lund at second, with Laguna NOV
ing to third. Buck Riddle then dou-
bled to center, scoring Laguna and
linn, but the rally ended when
Freund grounded out
Sunbury's fourth and final run
came in the seventh Frankie, the
first man up, beat out bunt Bailey
then grounded out, Jordan to Rid
die, and when Frankie tried to go to
third on the play Riddles throw to
Jordan was wild and Frankie scored
on the error. Miller then retired the
next two batters in order.
It was 4-3 Sunbury in the eighth
Freund and Jordan both walked
Loos then forced Jordan at second,
but Reggie threw wild to first trying
for the double play and Freund
scored on the error. Loos was
caught off first and tagged out and
Concannon struck out to retire the
side.
Hagerstown won the game in the
ninth when they scored two more
unearned runs. Laguna, the first
man up, walked. Hersom, batting
for Miller, popped up, but Jaderlund
singled to right and when Romeo
let the ball get away from him, Jad-
eriund scored on the error. Then,
when Reggie took the throw-in and
made a wild throw to third, Jader-
lund scored on the second error.
linn and Riddle both grounded out.
Jack Larson went to the mound in
the bottom half and after walking
his Sunbury namesake, retired the
next three batters in order to end
tho ooroa
