The Olympians beat Defiance 7 to 6 after exploiting opponent errors on the Common last evening. Defiance star catcher Jimmie Garvin was knee-injured by a foul tip and may miss rest of season, with Dr. Merriman treating him on the field and later at his office. Andy D'Ambrosio pitched well until Garvin’s injury, Ethier relieved him, and Leclerc misplayed a bunt allowing runs.
