Thompson's Fine Twirling Beats Voll in Tenth
Great pitching by Carl Thompson and a key fielding play by Bisland carried the Crackers to an 8 to 1 win over the Vols in ten innings. Bisland's sandlot style defense halted Nashville's ninth inning rally, while Welchence and Calihan added offensive moments. The Tennessee lineup featured Callahan and Calihan with late attempts, but Thompson's control and Bisland's two-base hit helped seal the extra-inning victory.
