third, as Parker walked, went to
third on A) Crisp's single and slid
home safely tr* Hex played Crisp, momentarily
trapped between second
and first.

description, but opened with a tworun
homer by N. Dodgin. After that:
it was fast and furious and when
Gus Hartsoe forced MeGinnis to fly
out to John George, Bex had a total
of 12 runs.
The Vets got three in their half of
the seventh. Ram PKam
