ball game Sunday, were able to hold
the Miller-Knuth team of Omaha, the
locals winning by the score of 6 to 5
The Red Sox were leading after
the fourth inning when an unlucky
bobble in the ninth inning allowed
the visitors to score the tieing run
and forcing the contest into the extra
innings.
The Miller-Knuth team had the ex
cellent pitching of Axburg to depend
upon and who accounted for the
greater part of the outs of his team,
receiving ragged support in the
opening portion of the game and
which added to the scoring of
Plattsmouth.
The Red Sox, owing to the illness
of Sylvester had the services of Kiz
zier. of Pacific Junction, former all
state basketball center and one of
the promising young ball players of
that state. He pitched a nice game
and was the man to score the win
ning run of his game.
The vlaitou -were the -first to score,
starting in the opening inning and
registering a man, while the Sox
came back in their half of the second
to score Krejci and Stone on hits.
The Sox added to their lead in the
third with three runs while Keiner
of the visitors scored a home run.
Keiner held the record for extra base
hitting as he acquired a home run in
the eighth inning.
The Red Sox were held scoreless
after the third inning; ,,"fvhil he
home run of Keiner in the" eighth
brought the score to 5 to 4 Jor the
locals and as the first ot the ninth
opened two hits and an error at third
base allowed Greise of the visitors to
tally the run that tied the old ball
game up.
Both teams battled hard for the
necessary run to break the tie in the
tenth frame and in the first of the
eleventh the visitors had a good
chance but an out at third cut their
chances and they were held score
less. . .
In the Red Sox half of the eleventh
Miller was given a walk but was
forced at second by Hirz, Kizzier was
safe on an error on Greise at second
base,' and Schliscke hit, forcing Hirz
at third base. Spidell won the con
test with a sharp single to center and
on which Kizzier was able to score.
The tabulated score of the game
was as follows:
