Little League
Game Results

The Little League season of
1854 was brought to a close
last Thursday night, September
2, by the Yankees beating the
White SoX 4 and the In
dianS shutting out the Athle-
tics 4 G.
The game at Claridon saw
the Claridon Yankees beating
the invading Chardon w h i t e
Sox Al in a game that was
called on account of darkness
at the end of four innings. Bill
Moss was the winning pitcher
for the Yankees and he gave
up one run on five hits, struck
out four White Sox batterS, and
Bill did not issue a walk. The
losing pitcher for the w h i t e
SoX was Dan Hummel who gave
up four runs on six hits, walk
ed five and struck out three.
Each team committed an er-
ror apiece. The Yankees sup
ported their pitcher we'll by
executing two double plays and
the White SoX made one.
JIM MORGRET was the hit
ting star for the Yankees as
he got two singles and double
in three trips to the plate. He
was followed by Doug Tretera
and John Schmidt both wi h
one hit in two tries and by
Jim Valboda with one hit in
one time at bat. Collecting the
five hits off Bill Moss were
Ronny BrunSky, Emery Dilda,
and Milo Muterspaugh all with
one hit apiece and Dan Hum
mel and Ken Young who each
banged out doubles, The Yam
KEGS final standing is in third
place and the White SoX are
in fourth.
IN CHARDON the same eve
ming the Geauga county Cham
pions, the Chardon Indians,
beat the Chardon Athletics 40.
Charlie Grant was credited with
the win and he gave up three
hits, struck out nine and walk
ed only one man. Bob Hum
mel of the Athletics was the
losing pitcher. Bob gave up
four runs, one Of which was
earned, on two hits, walked
two opposing batters and struck
out seven. Faulty fielding by
the Athletics which was made
up of six errors cost them the
ballgame.
Bob gave up a hit APIECE to
Dan Barnett and Keith Orzen.
Keith's hit proved to be the
only earned run as it was
home run over the left field
fence. Collecting the three hits
the Athletics got off Indian
pitching were Allan Singerman,
Norman Newton, and Richard
Opper all with one hit in two
trips to the plate.
