Field C
was a game played by two National League teams.
Making his managing debut was Larry Strait as the boss of the home
team. Head guy for the Visitor’s was the
veteran Elmer Black. Elmer’s team batted
in this order: Andrews, D. Hill, McLellan, Shaffer, Schapler, Black, Taylor,
Leggett, Powell, Bloom, Lopiccolo, Welton and LaMay. Larry’s team took the field and batted ln
this order: Spitaleri, Mahon, Lopez, S.
Hill, Grabb, Hawbacker, Remington, Strait, Learn, Kline, Thompson, Witter,
McPartlan, and L. Baker. Witter took the
mound and allowed the visitors one run in each of the first three innings. The home team (like the 1929 Yankees) could
only manage 5 runs in each of the first four innings. After four the score was 20 to 6. The visitors pitching for the last few inning
held the home team to only 4 runs the rest of the way. But the visitors could manage only two more
runs and the game ended Visitors 8 Home Team 24.
It was
still a good game and lots of fun and exercise for the home team but you know
the visitors each got to bat one more time then the home team. The 8th inning was a flip-flop and
the visitors batted for six outs.
Not many
errors posted on the score sheet this game.
Spitaleri was 3 for 4, Mahon 3 for 4 w/HR, Lopez 3 for 4, S. Hill 3 for
4, Grabb 3 for 3 w/W, Remington 3 for 4, Strait 3 for 4 and the rest of the home
guys all had 1 or 2 hits. Top hitters
for the visitors were McLellan 4 for 4, Shaffer 3 for 4, Black 3 for 4, Taylor 4
for 4 and Leggett 3 for 4.
Great
game guys,
