Gallipolis pitchers spark 8-0 win over Oak Hill in tourney
Gallipolis hitters powered to an 8-0 victory behind Joe Duncan's three hit pitching and a strong defense. Froggy Thompson and Roger Saunders started the rally with a first inning homer, while Duncan doubled in two runs and Tom Neal added a triple. Oak Hill managed only three hits and two runs, with Ron Boggs striking out nine for the losers. Middleport’s late-innings drama against Cincinnati produced a 2-1 win after a crowd-swirling baserunning interruption.
