going to third. Riddle then ground
ed to Meyer, the pitcher, who booted
the ball, loading the bases. Null
cahy fouled out along the first base
line for the first out and Meyer
struck out Hersom for out number
two. But he then walked Giggie,
forcing Freund across the plate with
the second run of the inning and
leaving the bases loaded. Jader-
lund then hit high fly to right
center that both outfielders lost in
the lights and it went for a two
Dagger, scoring all three base run
ners. Jordan followed with sin
gle to right, scoring Jaderlund with
the sixth run of the inning Freund,
up for the second time in the inning,
fouled out to the catcher to retire
the side.
Wilmington scored two more in
the sixth to make the score 7-3 Ha-
gerstown. With one away, Farrell
walked and scored on Bowman's
double and Iammatteo followed with
a single, scoring Bowman. Fitzgib-
bons then flied to center for the sec
ond out, but Meyer got an infeld hit,
putting men on first and second. But
Giggie then struck out LiPetri to re-
tire the side.

earned rum. Loos followed with an
other single, with Christian stopping
at second, and at this point Ma
lanowski relieved Meyer on the
mound. Riddle, the first man to
face him, flied to deep right with
Christian taking third after the catch,
but the inning ended when Mulcahy
flied to left.
The Blue Rocks put on mild raj
ly in the ninth when they scored
their fourth and final run LiPetri,
the first man up, singled to right and
moved to second while Wenitski was
being thrown out. Lynch went out
third to first, with LiPetri holding at
second. Heyman got base on balls

scoring LiPetri and sending Heyman
to third. But Giggie personally end
ed the inning and the game when
he grabbed Bowman's ground ball

ed to Larson. But Miller frightened
up then and grabbed Bowman's
grounder and threw him out at first
to retire the side.
But the Braves came back in their
half to score two runs and win the
game, with Hoyle pitching. Ford
Jordan, the first man up, beat out a
hit along the first base line with a
perfect slide. Freund sacrificed him
to second and Joe Christian, who al
ready had a single and a double,
came through with a three-bagger to
left, scoring Jordan with the tieing
run. Manager Lee Riley then or
dered Hoyle to walk both Loos and
Riddle, filing the bases, and it look
ed as if the strategy might work
when Hoyle got Mulcahy on a third
called strike for the second out.
Mulcahy argued so violently with
Umpire Fazio that he was thrown
out of the game. But Ted Laguna
saved the day when he worked Hoyle
for walk, forcing Christian across

(Thursday, June 19)

Coming from behind after having
3 to l lead at the end of the eighth
inning, the Braves took Thursday
nights game with Wilmington, in
the ninth, by a score of 5 to 4.
Jack Larson started for Hagers-
town and pitched steady ball through
the first eight frames, allowing only
one run. In those eight innings he
gave up ten hits, but fine defensive
work by his teammates, including
three fast double plays, kept him out
of trouble. He weakened, however,
in the top half of the ninth and was
relieved by Charlie Miller, who got
credit for the win. Ted Laguna was
behind the plate.
Hank Ptak, Highlander, started
for the Blue Rocks, but was taken
out for a pinch-hitter in the ninth,
with Alex Hoyle, another right
handler (the losing pitcher), going to
the mound in the bottom half. Fitz-
gibbons was behind the plate.
The Blue Rocks took a one-run
lead in the third when, with two
away, Lynch doubled and scored on
Heyman's single
The Braves tied it up in the fifth
when, with two away, Ford Jordan
belted one over the rightfield wall.
1t was 81 Hagerstown in the sixth.
Christian, the first man up, doubled
to right anod went to third on Loos'
single to center. Riddle then
grounded out short to first, with
Christian scoring on the play and
Loos going to second. Mulcahy was
safe on Heyman's error, with Loos
going to third. Laguna then flied
out to short centerfeld, with the run
ners holding, and Larson also flied
out to center to retire the side.
1t was 81 Hagerstown in the
eighth when, with one away, Null
cahy doubled to left and scored on
Laguna's three-bagger to left. But
that's as far as he got, as both Lar
son and Jaderlund were easy infield
outs.
It was 4-3 Wilmington in the top
half of the ninth. Larson walked
Leach, batting for Ptak, and LiPetri
Wenitski sacrificed both runners
along and then, with a count of two
balls and no strikes on Lynch, Dor
man yanked Larson and sent in
Charlie Miller. After running the
count to three and two, Lynch also
walked, with the walk being charged
to Larson, who gave up a total OF
eight bases on balls. Then with Hey

wild pitch on which Leach scored
LiPetri went to third and Lynch to

UP in the bottom half
In the top half, Riddle, the first
man up, singled and Mulcahy fol-
lowed with another single, putting
men on first and second. Leguna
took third called strike, but when

ball into centerfeld trying to pick
off Riddle, he went to third on the
error and Mulcahy took second. Gig
gle struck out, but Jaderlund beat
out a hit to short, scoring Riddle.
Mulcahy was trapped between sec
ond and third on the play, but when
Farrell threw the ball into right field
tduring the rundown, Mulcahy scor-
ed on the error.
In the bottom half, Bowman hit
one over the centerfield fence with
the bases empty.
Wilmington made it Al in the
third, when walk, a single and
double produced two runs, and they
got their fifth run in the fifth, on a
walk and two singles.
The Braves, however, scored three
runs in the top half of the eighth to
tie it up. With one away Leguna
doubled, Snyder then walked Levin
son and Jaderlund followed with a
single to short left filling the bases.
Jordan also walked, driving in Le-
guna with the first run, and Malo-
nowski replaced Snyder. Lloyd
Freund, the first man to face him

straight time that Freund had drawn
a walk. Christian then flied to left,

WILMINGTON HERE
"wednesday, June lS)


Taking full advantage of three
Wilmington errors, four walks, a
fly ball that was lost in the lights,
and eight timely hits, the Braves won
the first of their two-game series
with Wilmington on Wednesday
night by score of 8 to 4.
Bob Giggie, who won his eighth
game Che has lost three), gave up
nine hits, including a double, and
walked six, but in spite of that he
gave a fine exhibition of clutch pitch
ing, forcing the Wilmington batters
to hit on the ground with men on
base, with the result that Il of the
q putouts were made by the infield.
Buck Riddle, the first baseman, had
IS putoutS and assist; Freund, the
shortstop, and 6; Mulcahy, the sec
ond baseman, 2 and 1; Jordan, the
third baseman, and 4; and Giggie,
/ and 5. Jaderlund, the centerfeld-
er, had 5 of the remaining 6, with
rightfelder Christian getting the
other
Jack Meyer, a Highlander, who
was charged with the loss, gave a
much better exhibition of pitching
then the score showed, being the
victim of three bad errors by his
teammates, all of which figured in
the scoring. AS the matter of fact,
only one of the Braves eight runs
were earned Fitzgibbons was his
catcher
The Braves took one-run lead in
the second. With one away, Riddle
singled to center and when Bowman
let the ball get away from him, Buck
went all of the way to third on the
error, from where he scored after the
catch when Mu1cahy flied out to left.
The Blue Rocks tied it up in the
top half of the fourth after two
were out. Farrell singled to center
and Bowman walked, putting men on
first and second. Iammatteo then
singled to left scoring Farrell, with
Bowman stopping at second, but
when Loos let the ball get away from
him Bowman moved to third and
Iammatteo to second on the error
Fitzgibbons was given an intentional
pass, but Giggie then got Meyer on
a ground-out, short to first, to retire
the side.
Then came the Braves big fourth
inning when ten men went to bat
and six runs crossed the plate, to
make the score to l Hagerstown
Here's what happened:
Freund, the first man up, was safe
at first when Lynch booted his
grounder. Christian walked and

SALISBURY HERE.
FRIDAY, June 2O)

The Braves won the first of their
three-game series with Salisbury on
Friday night by score of to 2. Bill
Wilson, the rookie lefthander who
was signed by the Boston Braves af-
ter graduating from Amherst Col
lege, made his first appearance be-
fore the home fans and gave them
plenty to talk about.
Although he gave up total of ten
hits and walked five, he showed
plenty of moXie, particularly when
Tanner (Salisbury's heavy hitting
catcher with II home runs to his
credit worked him to a 3 and 0
count in one inning, only to have
Wilson bear down and strike him out
on three straight pitches. He had
total of five strike outs. Dorman
took him out of the game after the
first man to face him in the top half
of the ninth singled, and Charlie
Miller relieved him. But Wilson got
credit for the win and richly de-
served it. Hersom was his catcher.
Bob Crook, a highlander (the
losing pitcher), started for Sails
bury, but was taken out in the
eighth for a pinch-hitter and Blan-
ton pitched the last inning.
Hagerstown took a two-run. lead
in the second Mulcahy, the first
man up, was safe at first on an err
ror and scored on Hersom's three
Dagger Wilson was called out on
strikes, but Jaderlund came through
with a double to right scoring Her
som, but Crook got the next two bat
tiers on infield outs to retire the side.
1t was 80 Hagerstown in the
fourth Mulcahy, the first man up,
beat out hit to deep short and Her.
som came through with his second
hit, and second RBI, when he slap
ped a double to center scoring Null
cahy. But Crook then frightened up
and retired the side without any
further scoring. He held the Braves
in the sixth and seventh without a
hit, and Blanton did the same thing
in the eighth.
Salisbury got their first run in
the sixth. Tanner walked and Jack
son was hit by pitched ball. Will
son cut loose with a wild pitch, put
ting runners on second and third
with nobody out. But the young rock
lie refused to get ratified, despite the
bad start. He got Trytek on swing
ing strike for the first out, got Hend-
rix on grounder from short to first,
with Tanner scoring on the play, and
then got the pitcher on another
grounder to retire the side with only
one run scoring.
The Reds second and final run
came in the eighth. Lamb, the first
man up, singled to center, Tanner
struck out, but Jackson came through
with a three-b Dagger to left scoring
Lamb. Wilson then walked Hend-
rix and Brown, who batted for
Crook, filling the bases. But the
side was retired when Blake forced
Brown at second.
Salisbury threatened in the ninth
when Smith, the first man up, sin
gled. At this point Miller relieved
Wilson. Ralston then sacrificed
Smith to second for the first out.
Lamb walked, but Tanner flied to
center for out number two. Then
Jackson hit a line drive single to
right, but Joe Christian fielded the
ball on one hop and threw perfect
strike to Hersom, who got Smith as
he tried to score from second on the
hit and the ball game was over.

Second Game

Bob Giggie started for Hagers-
town in the nine-inning second
game, but was taken out for a pinch
hitter in the fourth, with the score
4 to 2 against him. Levinson re-
lieved him and was charged with
the loss.
Gene Snyder, a lefthander, really
handcuffed the Braves for seven and
one-third innings, but blew up in
the eighth and was relieved by Gene
Malanowski, who got credit for the
win.
During the first seven innings Sny-
der walked eight men, but not one
Of them scored. He loaded the bases
with walks in the first frame, with
one out, but got out of that via the
double-play route. Then in the sew
enth he again loaded the sacks on
walks, this time with two out, but
go the next batter on pop-up. He
had men on base in every inning but
the sixth, but his eight strike-outs
got him out of trouble. The Braves
got to him in the eighth, however,
with three-run gally that tempor-
arily tied up the Ball game.
A triple and double gave the
Blue Rocks a run in the first frame.
The Braves went ahead 81 in the
top half of the second on two I'M
earned runs, but Wilmington tied it
