Eagle River Beats Bessemer In Sloppy Affair
Errors by the patched up Eagle River team produced several runs for Wisconsin. Eagle River scored two in the second when Testolin dropped a fly with the bases loaded and two out. Bessemer replied with a run in the eighth and two in the ninth, but the game was out of reach. Bowker pitched for Eagle River and was wild, walking three batters and hitting three more while allowing ten hits. Gregg, a college player in charge of a boys summer camp, played first for Bessemer and hit a three bagger in the ninth. Ed Lillrose, visiting from Rhinelander, filled in at second base and collected two hits. Hoeft was beaned to start Bessemer’s third inning run, and Janey scored in the eighth after an error and two hits. Emunson and Murphy singled in the ninth before Gregg’s three bagger. Lefty Hoeft could have won with a steadier effort by Eagle River, but the hosts were off form and still won.
