The Plattsmouth Mcrcnants hung
up their sixth victory Sunday as
they came from behind to down Ne

thrill packed from the first Inning
on.
Nebraska City scored two runs in
the first inning, and three in the
eighth. Christman of the Boosters
clouted a homer with one man on
board, to give his team a 5-1 advan
tage at the end of the eighth. The
Merchants got their tally In the
fifth when Parriott got a hit, and
was sacrificed to second by Smith,
when he scored on Phillips' second
hit.
The game appeared to be all Ne
braska City when the last of the
eighth began, as pitcher Gerard had
been pitching a good game of ball
for the Boosters, but then the fire
works began, and Gerard met his
downfall. Ed Smith led off with a
single, and Joe Phillips stepped up
and got his third hit which was a
long home run, and he scored behind
Smith. Ault got a hit as did O'Don
nell, Ault taking third, and O'Don
nell second on the throw to third.
Hayes came through with a hit that
scored Ault and O'Donnell with the
tying runs. With Hayes on second
Thierolf hit a grounder to the sec
ond baseman, Ossian taking the
throw and then made a bad throw to
third, and Hayes came in with the
winning run.
Floyd Thierolf again pitched the
Merchants to victory, giving six hits
and getting 13 strikeouts. "Red"
Gerard gave the Merchants 9 hits,
which included the five straight In
the hectic eighth inning.
Next Sunday the again victorious
Merchants will meet Bennington
again, and promise to whip the
"suits" off them for the stunning de
feat they received at Bennington
