"wednesday, August 49,

40-minute affairs, the Salisbury Reds

an even split in the two-game series.
Hedrick (the winning pitcher) was
as wild as March hare, giving up
total of IA walks that were direct
ly responsible for 7 of the Braves 8
runs, but he had a wicked curved
ball that handcuffed the Braves when
he could get it over the plate. He
was finally taken out in the seventh
and Bill Blanton went the rest of the
way. Runyon was behind the plate.
Stan Slack, the Braves starting
pitcher, was the loser and was knock

six runs. Wilson relieved him, but
he ran into a peck of trouble in the
eighth and Larson finished the game.

hind him with hit number five,
scoring Runyon. Smith, the next
batter, doubled to right, scoring
Jackson with the fifth run of the
inning. Hedrick, the pitcher, was up
next and he popped to short for the
first out. Then, with count of two
balls and no strikes. on Blake, Dor
man yanked Slack and sent Wilson
in. He got rid of Blake on an in

bottom half. linn opened the in
ming with single and then Hedrick
