Rock Valley Nips Akron 2-0 Behind Fear’s Fireball
Rock Valley pitcher Vernon Fear of Everly Iowa shut down Akron with a 2-0 victory before about 2000 fans. Fear allowed one safe hit Arm Bidwn in the fifth, fanned 10 and walked five. Fries of Council Bluffs held Rock Valley to five hits with six strikeouts. Akron’s lone run potential vanished as Tucker dropped Pusker’s fly and Snider scored in the fourth. Crider’s single and Tucker’s double produced the eighth inning tally. This win gives Rock Valley three wins in five games against Akron this year.
