Junior Legion
Wins Over
Burke 8 to 1
At Burke, S. D., last Wednes
day, right hander Denny Wentz
pitched the O’Neill Legion to an
8-1 triumph. The mound master
turned in a dazzling performance,
fanning 19 hitlers in the seven
inning contest, while allowing on
ly three hits.
Local hitters could reley only
on Ray Belina for slugging power,
as the shortstop collected O’
Neill's only two hits on a long
triple in the fourth inning and a
bases-loaded single in the seventh.
The winners waited jntil the fifth
inning before bringing around
three runs on two hit batsmen
and three errors. In the final
frame four walks, an error, and
(Belina's single resulted in five
more O’Neill runs.
Shortstop Klew led off the fi
nal Burke bid with a triple and
scored on a passed ball. A sin
gle by Wischman was wasted
when Wentz struck out the side
to end the game.
To pat the finishing touches on
his evening performance, the
versatile Wentz stole home to ac
count for O’Neill's final tally.

Bob Givens '
Sparks Second
Junior Win
The big bat of little Bobby Giv
ens provided the spark in the O’
Neill Junior Legion’s second win
of the week. The regular second
sacker, filling in at short-stop due
to an absence of players, singled
in the winning run in the bottom
of the seventh inning in a see
saw 4-3 victory over Verdigre
Sunday night.
Sam “Skiippy” Knepper smack
ed two singles for the winners
and scored the winning run.
Brace Appleby collected the only
extra-base blow in O’Neill’s sev
en-hit attack when he knocked a
long double in the fourth inning.
O’Neill and Givens didn’t waste
any time getting to Verdigre
starter, John Farnik as they
scored one run in the bottom of
the first inning on back-to-back
singles by Givens and Kurtz, an
infield roller by Ray iBelina that
filled the bases, and a run-scor
ing infield out off the bat of Stan
Schmeichel.
Verdigre drove across two runs
in the top of the second on a
walk, two errors, and a single.
But Coach Joe Ollendick’s local
Legion came right back in their
half of the second frame, scoring
two runs on two walks and Sam
Knepper’s first hit of the eve
ning.
Ray Belina started on the
mound for O’Neill, striking out
nine in his five-inning stint, but
he needed help from Denny
Wentz who came on with the bas
es loaded and nobody down in the
top of the sixth.
Wentz threw a double-play ball
to the first man he faced, then
fanned the next, and O’Neill came
out of the inning giving up only
one run. Wentz was credited with
the victory, his second in as many
mound appearances. Timmerman
was the loser for Verdigre.
