The Marines Score

The Marines were making hay fast as they contacted Huebner's deliveries. Olsen and Girard grounded out via Krause and Huebner again. Potts was hit by a pitched ball and travelled free to first base. Sonnenberg bingled into the left garden Riley was too slow to make up his id whether to advance or retreat in order to meet the fly, The ball dropped over his head for a two-bagger which scored Potts. Dingwall hit straight to Huebner, who could not field the ball right away, allowing the second baseman to reach first. But the runner was thrown out in stealing second by Buster Kabbert while Orzech was batting. In this inning the Marines got two hits and one run for a lead.

Play moved on uneventfully until the last half of the fourth frame when the trailers woke up and gained revenge. Riley drove out a hot grounder to Winchester, who juggled the ball and muffed it. -While Lamneck was at the plate Riley lit for second, evidently trying to steal. Sonnenberg made à long throw but it went wild. Riley continued to run for third but was too slow and was tagged out by Hyman.
