Edges Past Riots In Thrilling Thorn-ton Duel
Thornton Academy rallied in the bottom of the ninth to beat South Portland 2-1 at Thorn ton. A death by own action squeeze and a heads up dash from Parker produced the winning run after Don McGuffin's disputed third strike set the rally in motion. South Portland led 1-0 behind Tom Higgins until TA manufactured two runs, aided by Hadiaks sac bunt and Laskey's late pinches. Richards, Pendleton, and stout defense aided Caddigan and Higgins in a classic Telegram League clash.
