Last Game of Season By Ray Suss
The Fairmont Cardinals defeated the Graettinger Independents 3-1 at Graettinger ballpark on Sunday September 21. Graettinger pitcher Freddie Beschorner held Fairmont to five hits with 4 strikeouts as Gradlinger loaded the bases twice but could not deliver. Westergard pitched two relief innings for Fairmont and Harry Strain had Graettinger’s only hit off Beschorner. The cold 60 degree wind affected pace and Arnolds Park’s game was postponed due to weather. The Grantfinger Independent baseball season ended 1947 with 25 games played, 11 losses, 14 wins, second in Palo Alto County league, and two losses to Rossie and two to Fairmont.
