SOFTBALL Last Friday night Shift #2 met Shift #1 in a battle for lst place, For Shift i*2 & win was needed to extend their un- beaten string to 5 straight games, Relying on a tight defense together with good pitching by Eddie Aho, #2 took this im- portant game by a 4-1 score, Osmar, #2 shortstop, played an excellent game both offensively and defensively, tho! it was his big bat that broke #1's back, | In the 3rd, Osmar doubled, driving home Bond who also had doubled, and in the 5th Osmar hit a home run, his 3rd of the year, into deep right field, The .. other 2 runs of #2 were the direct result of 4 errors by #1 on plays which could have easily retired the side, Frank Whitfield scored #f1's only run by doubling, taking third on a wild pitch and scoring on McInnis' single, this game certainly was well pitched all the way and without a doubt was a crowd pleaser and enjoyable to watch, ~ Line Score: R.

However, luck just wasn't with T-M and Jimmy was an easy third out, Nick Chopty, #4 pitcher, and Stan Swaresh, T-M hurler, both pitched very good ball, but Nick had much better suppori. which meant the ball game, Line Score: . a ek ao OO 1 tk Bie ot hy eo 8 8 OO 2a 7 oe eee R.
