Wins Four
In Miami

The Flyers Of the Naval Air Sta.
ton, Key West have just returned
from Miami where they won 4
four-game series with the Opa
Locka Marines and lost game
with the Millers Dixie Lilys, 4
semi pro club.
The Flyers started the series off
with 4 6-2 victory over the Mar
ines. Don Robinson was the win
ming pitcher making his record g.
o for the season. The big blow of
the FIRST game came in the 7th
when zydiak came out of his hat
ting slump with a booming triple
to LEFT center field driving in Ho-
gan from second. This tied the
scoreand the Flyers went on to
win the game in the 9th with four
runs on three hits.
In the End game the Flyers were
defeated 81 by the Marines. This
broke their IL game winning
streak and brought their season re-
cord up to 20-2. The Flyers left 19
potential runs stranded on the ba-
ses, a big factor in their defeat.
The third game of the series was
rained out and will be played at
q later date.
The Naval Air Sation's team won
the fourth game in the 9th inning
by a score of rs. It was a nip and
tuck ball game. up to the ninth
when the Flyers came through
when the pressure was on to win.
This brought their season record
to q wins against losses, both
to the Opa Lock Club.
The Flyers lost their last game
to the Dixie Lilys, a semi pro
team, by score of 6-5. The game
was q good contest, one the Fly
ers should not feel bad about los
ing. The semi pro club has been
the Florida State Champ for the
past two years and also was run
