First Batt. Start Strongly

The First Battalion were the first to take the bat and they started off strongly as Robinson, lead off man, hit a fast one to Brannon and was safe on first. Mudry, next man up. fied out to Mann and Klusendorf then came to the plate and hit the ball through third base to advance Robinson. Penick was safe on a folders choice, Klusendorf being put ouf on second base while Robnison went to third on the play. Kopacz gave up a golden opportunity by swinging at the ball three times, being ouj via the strike out route.

In-their half of the first inning, the Second Battalion duplicated the action of the First Battalion by also

to make their hits count as they getting two hits but they were able scored twice.
