spring, nbeat Pittsburgh 6-l last
night in a game interrsspeed III

The victory pulled the Braves

The wintry blasts that couldn't

yesterdays schedule and rain
washed out a fourth. 1t was too
cold for Brooklyn at Chicago and

York and too wet for Detroit at
Boston.
In games that were played, the
Chicago White Sox increased their

Joe Lewis Hurts Hitter
In Softba|| Loop Opener
Coca Cola
Wins Island
League
Inaugural

Behind the brilliant one hit pitch
ing Of Joe Lewis, Coca Cola edged
out the VX-1 Flyers 10 to open
the 1854 Island City Softball Lea
que.
An infield hit by Onelio Calero,
a wild pitch, an error, and Bunsy
Villareal's sacrifice fly produced
Coca Cola'S lone tally in the sixth
breaking up a tight pitching duel
between Lewis and Highly Schmidt
of VX-1.
The lone hit off Lewis came in
the second inning when Richard
Pigg tripled deep to right with one
away. However, Lewis frightened
UP and struck out Barney Parker
and Steve Vargo to end the threat.
The run off Schmidt in the sixth
was sort of gift because after
CalerO beat out bunt to start the
inning, Oscar Cruz, after several
attempts to sacrifice, finally pop
ped out to Tom Fink, the catcher.
While J. Rodriguez was UP, Gale
70 took second ON a wild pitch but
on the next pitch, J. Rodriguez
popped to Fink who dropped the
bali in front of the plate allowing
Calero to 60 tn third where he
scored on Vilareals fly.
Dewitt Roberts single in the cast
of the sixth scored Robert Santana
from second to give the Dairy
Queen Billiards a 4-3 victory over
the Sonar School in the second
game of the twin bill.
Roberts single climaxed a tight
pitching duel between the Sonar
Schools Bill Franklin and the Bliz-
yards Dan Brooks.
Brooks, after a shaky start, set
tied down and pitched air tight
ball to notch the win. He struck
out 6 and walked three. Franklin
who was touched for four hits had
poor support afield which eventual
ly cost him the game.
Sonar drew first blood in the first
inning when they combined two
hits, an error and walk for a
run. With the bases still loaded
and nobody out, Garrard lined to
Bobby Lastres who stepped on

had walked and Lastres then threw
