February 2nd game between Dukes and Coconuts
Finally Steve Hill's Dukes are found beatable. A good cold day with strong wind made for interesting fly balls and even pitches that curved.
The Coconuts prevailed with consistent hitting and sufficient defense. Don Torok made an especially spectacular catch in left field to rob the Dukes of extra bases in the middle of the game. Bob Hite and Bob Zelazny hit deep balls for triples.
The Dukes were missing key players but they still battled until the end. Bob Vandenburg went 5 for 5 and Steve Hill, Willie Morton, Joe Peskie, Sam Lopez and Richard Newton all had good hitting with each one going 3 for 5.
Final score: Coconuts 25 - Dukes 13
