Coming from behind in
story-book fashion, Tony Tammaro's All Stars managed to tie with the R.C.A.F.
nine from Pennfield in a five-inning fixture last Thursday evening at the local
Fair Grounds.
Going into the last of the fifth inning with a three-run lead
against them, the locals punched home three runs on a walk, two errors and two
hits to knot the count. The game was then called due to darkness.
A good sized crowd witnessed the close contest, which
although including numerous errors, featured many fine plays and good teamwork.
The airmen arrived late so that the game failed to get started on schedule, thus
causing the contest to go only five innings.
Campbell, lanky right fielder for the airmen, led the hitters
with a triple and single in three times at bat while Frost's double was the only
extra base blow for the All Stars.
Trad, the visitors' moundsman, was reached for two runs in
the third on two hits and a long fly and the faltering airman was yanked the
next inning for Alwood, another right hander. Frost went the distance for the
locals giving up seven scattered hits and striking out three. Trad gave up three
hits and whiffed two batters in three innings, while Alwood allowed only two
hits but walked three and also had two strike outs.
The teams will play a rematch here today, September 7.
