Sylva Loses 1 O Inning
Thriller, Hazelwood 6-5
With two away in the last of thel
tenth and Bud Blalock roosting on
third, Bob Pitts lashed a single
dangerously close to the right field j
foul line that brought Bud scoot-'
ing home to give Hazelwood, WNC,
Industrial league leaders, a 6-5
edge over the Sylva legion club at
Hazelwood last Wednesday after
noon.
Although the Sylva boys outhit
Hazelwood, 10-8, both teams kept
their hits well bunched. The lead
changed hands three times before'
being tied in the ninth and broken!
in the tenth. Ben Dillard scored a
1-0 lead for Sylva in the second
inning but Hazelwood came back
in the third on a single by Stan
Henry, a walk to Robinson and a
two run single by Manager Bla-i
lock.
Sylva jumped ahead in the sixth
on four straight singles by Brown,
Ellis, Rector and Smith that pro
duced three runs and sent Bla
lock rushing in from third to take
over the pitching chores from
starter Griffin. A double play
retired Sylva before. any more
damage could be done.
