KCKBA7, AIV.lt, 20, 1942 PLATTSKOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOTTKUAL PAGE THREE Platters Defeat North east High, 14-1 Plattsmouth opened the nasebail season at Lincoln Friday with a 14 to 1 victory over Lincoln Northeast. Ralph Hilt pitched superb ball after the first batter to face him had hit a triple. The shock of the first batter to reach third on the second ball pitched made Ralph settle down and he had the Rockets completely in check the remainder of the game. The first batter for Northeast was the only opponent to score. Platts mouth had the big inning in the third when seven players tallied. The Rockets used three pitchers, Wolfe, left-hander, who started, was ineffective while Willet was not much better and Long-, the third pitcher was the most effective of the three. The Plattsmouth team played er rorless ball both infield and outfield and howed lively support. Coach Hoffman used all players including four freshmen. The Plattsmouth un derclassmen showed several stand outs. Dooly hit a two-bagger with the bases loaded. Rip Vroman got two hits for two times at bat. Ber nard Galloway, former Plattsmouth athlete, who is now track coach at Northeast, umpired the game. The local team made the trip by truck. PLATTSMOUTH AB R II o Beverege.
