Nut Busters Triumph In Slow Game At Glenwood Park
The Nut Busters defeated the McComas baseball club 8 to 1 Sunday afternoon at Glenwood Park before a sparse crowd. Absent pitchers and a patched lineup left McComas easy targets as Austin struggled with ten walks. Nut Busters capitalized early with four runs in the first inning and added four more over the next two frames, while McComas managed a lone run in the eighth. Chandler and Ellison contributed solid infield and catching work as the Nut Busters rely on reserve strength to secure the win. The Nut Busters are set to meet Kimball in Bluefield Thursday afternoon.
