93 RUNS CROSS
HOME PLATES
Orchard Scores 29 Off
Brunswick in North
Central Tilt
High scoring games were
prominent in the North - Cen
tral loop this week with a to
tal of 93 runs crossing the va
rious home plates. That’s an
average of 11% points per
team.
The largest single team score
was Orchard’s 29 runs in the
Brunswick game. Elgin and
Creighton totaled 36 runs for
their game.
Some wild hitting, ineffec
tive pitching and poor fielding
were the causes for the large
scores.
Pitchers Grab
i Stick Honors—
ST. JOHN’S— When Center
blasted St. John’s, 8-4, here
Sunday the pitchers walked off
respective teams walked off
with batting laurels. Center’s
Carlow banged out three hits
in five trips and St. John’s E.
Funk negotiated three in four
tries. Hegge, Center’s shortstop,
connected twice in two trips.
Funk, losing pitcher, set
down a dozen Center bats
men via the strike-out route,
while Carlow whiffed nine.
Funk yielded only one hit in
the first six innings.
Only a fair-sized crowd was
on hand, but the customers
that were there had their mon
ey’s worth. During the last
three frames, during which
Center came from behind and
finished far out in front, there
was lots of discussion and ar
gument.
