Spectacular 14 inning Bradford Henry baseball clash at Pavilion Park
A full fourteen inning Sunday game at Pavilion Park between Bradford and Henry is hailed as the finest exhibition of baseball seen in Henry. Phelps allowed only one strikeout as Henry preserved a slim lead. Haines and Heininger starred in fielding plays while Bush fanned 18 of Bradford. Henry prevailed on a lone run in the 14th off a misplay and a hit, with 400 in attendance and Umpire Thomas McKeon officiating.
