Wreckers Sunday
Win at Nebraska City by Score of 9-2
Streets Has Field Day at Bat
and Hurls Great Game.
Yesterday the Plattsmouth Mer
chants, local entree into the South
eastern Amateur Easeball League,
defeated the Wertle Wreckers at Ne
braska City by the score of 9-2. The
Wreckers have been leading the
league, but the Merchants proved
superior in yesterday's encounter.
The locals started the scoring in
the second inning, scoring three
runs. They scored three in the third
and three in the 9th. The Nebraska
City team scored once in each of the
2nd and 9th innings.
The Merchants collected 15 hits
as every player in the lineup col
lected at least one with the excep
tion of Ed Kalina and Wiles. Kalina
failed in three attempts, and Wiles
failed once. Streets, local hurler, led
the hitting, garnering three doubles
and a single out of five attempts. One
double came with the bases loaded.
Krejci got the longest hit of the
game, a triple in the ninth.
J. Mathers, Nebraska City twirler,
gave up 15 hits and struck out five.
The Wreckers collected six hits off
the pitching of Streets, and ten aspir
ing Wreckers went down swinging.
Streets was especially effective in
the pinches.
Next Sunday, July 25, the Mer
chants play the Auburn aggregation
here at the Athletic field. The Au
burn team has been in second place,
and is always dangerous. The Mer
chants have been defeated twice by
Auburn, but are determined to handle
this team next Sunday as they
handled the Wreckers yesterday.
