Chester Sparr Stars at
Bat In Win Over Bugs
Drives In Seven Runs
With Two Homers
And Slashing Double
???
Pete Kunit Turns in Derision
As Goldsboro Uses
Three Pitchers
Led by tt>? long distance clouting
of Chesty Sparr, the Williamston
Martins gained a 15-5 victory over
Goldsboro's Bugs Sparr hit two
home runs and a double to drive in
seven of the Martin tallies here last
Wednesday night.
Pete Kunis went the route for
the locals, and kept the hits well
scattered except in the second and
sixth innings. He fanned six
The Martins blasted three pitchers,
scoring almost at will. In the first
inning, a single, fielder's choice and
one of Sparr's homers accounted for
two runs. Another one was scored
in the second off three errors
In the third, Williamston scored
three times as Elmer Cone was safe
011 an error, scoring when Brinkley
threw away Fred Hoyle's sacrifice
Ches hit his second homer in a row
to bring in Hoyle ahead of him.
Ill the fourth an error, Hoyle's sin
gle and a two base blow by Sparr |
was good for two runs.
Continuing the scoring parade, 11
Williamston batters faced Skipper
McHenry, who had relieved Simon,
in the sixth. Judy Pride doubled,
Cone was hit by a pitched ball.
Hoyle's attempted sacrifice caught
Prideat third. Sparr was safe on an
error. Hack Gaylord singled to left
field to bring in Cone. Skipper Frank
Rodgers doubled to the fence to clear
the bases, but McHenry proceeded
to fill 'em up again and walked Pride
which gave the Skipper free trans
portation home
Quite unusual, the locals didn't
score in the seventh, but in the eighth
with Jack Clifton pitching, two run
ners crossed the plate on five walks
and a fieldei's choice. ' "
Next to Ches, Gaylord was best
with the willow, getting two for
four
