H&SHEiS SHHE GkUX 4 TO 3
M EXCmm CAME OR TIESIAY
* North Wllkesboro Flashers
climbed back Into a virtual tie
with Wytheville Tuesday night
by taking a well played game
from Galax 4 to 3 before a
large crowd in Memorial Park
here.
Bob 'Thompson, 135 pounds
o f energy from Greensboro,
found himself after being touch
ed for three runs in 'the first
three frames and pitched near
perfect ball for the last six in
nings, with not an extra man
facing him in the latter part of
the game. He struck out seven
and walked one.
Galax went into a two-run lead
in the first on a walk, Claypool's
double and the Flashers' only
error. North Wilkesboro got one
back in the first on doubles by
Black and Winkelspect. In the
third singles by Sloboda and
Tagliarino scored Galax's final
run. In the big sixth Black was
hit by pitcher and batted in by
Bob Winklespect'a long triple.
Winkelspect was out on Shores'
fielders choice. Daddino walked
and Davis singled Shores home.
Sib Weinbach walked Proscia
and Thompson, forcing in the
winning run.
In the ninth Galax threatened
when Ruotola singled to start
the inning, stole second, but was
cut down on a rapidly executed
Thompson to Winkelspect pick
off play. Fielding gem for the
night was by Shores, who make
a running, back handed stab of
a fast grounder baek of third
and made a perfect throw to
retire the batter.
