Play Walhalla Here
July 4th
, The Franklin All-Stars opened
the last half of the Smoky Moun
tain League with a double win over
Murphy Sunday 7-6 and 5-4, while
Bryson City was doing the same
thing to Kyle 7-6 and 6-3.
In the opener, Murphy was lead
ing 4-1 ire the sixth when "Iron
Horse" Elliott started a four run
rally by .singling over second, Rey
nolds lived on an error, Swareson
laid down a bunt and also lived
when the pitcher fumbled, McCol
lum doubled to left field scoring
Elliot and Reynolds, Buie then
slapped a single over short to score
Swanson and McCollum. Murphy
scored another in the 7th to tie
it up but the All-Stars came right
back in the 8th to score two and
put the game on ice.
'Curve Ball" Buie not only pitch
ed a swell game in the opener to
win his sixth straight game of the
season but led his teammates to
bat with 4 for- 8, while "Phantom
Phil" McCollum set them dowre in
tfhe night-cap with 7 hits, and col
lected two singles and a double
out of five trips to the plate.
The All-Stars take on the Wal
halla, S. C, nine here Saturday,
July 4th at 3:30 p. m., and then
journey to Bryson City Sunday for
a twin-bill. The fans will probably
see a dark-horse perform in the
pitcher's box.
