In the opening Innings the FJIIKX
looked to repeat with another vic

score in the opener after the Eagles
had scored two and in the second
frame added a four to two lead, but
was cut to a four to three in the
succeeding innings and then the
Eagles led 8 to 5 and were never
headed after that time.
In the last innings the Eagles
played air tight ball and checked the
last minute attempts of the BREX to
at least force the game into extra
innings by a tie.
Clyde Urittain electrified the large
crowd when he planted a home run
to the right field bank with the bases
loaded with Eagle players, this blow
icing up the game for the Eagles.
One of the bright spots of the
Eagles game was that of Clark at sec
