HARRISBURG HERE
"wednesday, September y


The Braves not only won the first
of their two-game series with Har-
risburg on Wednesday night, but in
winning they also wrapped up the
1862 Interstate League pennant. To
Andy Bush went the honor of pitch
ing the pennant-winning game and
he did it via the shutout route. The
final score was Hagerstown 9, Har-
risburg o.
Although Andy gave up a total of
8 hits, he really bore down in the
clutch and was backed up by superb
fielding by his teammates, who help
ed him out of two bad holes with
really fast double plays. Dusty
Hersom was his catcher,
Bush gave up two singles in the
fifth with one away, but double
play erased that threat. In the sixth
with one away, the Harrisburg
pitcher, Stan Stahursfi, singled and
then, after Esrang had flied to Lloyd
Freund in right, who was playing
in place of Joe Christian, Sorber got
a single to left. But Andy then got
Isreal, the leagues leading hitter, on
a grounder to second. In the seven
tn, Kratzer, the first man up, got an
infield hit and after the next two
batters had flied out, Harvey also
got an infield hit. But this time
Andy took charge himself and threw
the next batter out at first.
In the eighth, Stahurski, the first
man up, got his second hit of the
night, single to right, and after
the next batter had popped up, Sor-
Der followed with his second hit,
also single to right, but Andy then
threw out Israel for the second out
and got Kratzer on a grounder to
short Harrisburg's last hit came in
the ninth with one away, but
double play ended that threat and
the game.
The Braves scored two runs in
the fourth. Jordan, the first man
up, singled to right, Loos popped up,
but Concannon beat out a slow roll
er to third, putting men on first and
second, and when Harvey let the
throw to first get away from him,
Jordan went to third on the error
and Concannon to second. Hersom,
who was doing the catching, then got
a solid single to center, scoring Jor
dan and Concannon, but the rally
ended when Bush hit into a double
play.
1t was 40 Hagerstown in the fifth.
Jaderlund, the first man up, got his
second walk of the game. Jimmy
linn then laid down perfect bunt
along the third base line and easily
beat it out, with Jaderlund stopping
at second. Riddle sacrificed both
runners along, but Freund flied out
to short center and there was no adj
vance. Then, with Jordan at bat,
Stahurski cut loose with wild pitch
on which Jaderlund scored and linn
moved to third. Jordan then singled
to left, scoring linn with the second
run of the inning, but Loos ended
it by flying out to right.
Four more runs crossed the plate
in the sixth. Concannon singled,
Hersom singled and then Bush
walked, filling the bases. Jaderlund
doubled to right, scoring Concannon
and Hersom, with Bush stopping at
third. linn grounded to second
with the runners holding, but Buck
Riddle hit long fly to centerfeld,
with Bush scoring easily after the
catch, and Jaderlund also scored
when Esrang let the throw get away
from him. The inning ended when
Freund grounded out.
The ninth and final run came in
the eighth. Jaderlund opened the
inning with his third walk, but was
forced at second by linn. Riddle
then singled to right with linn 60
ing to third. Riddle broke for sec
ond on the thrown-in and was trap
ped between first and second, but
