Idle Giants Gain As Oilers Blank Rockets
The Lawton Giants, two and a half games behind the pace-setting Rockets, benefited from rain to delay a Fourth of July doubleheader with the Duncan Cementers. Seminole Oilers pitcher duel fueled a 1 0 win over McAlester as two-hitters were allowed. The Giants plan a two game set at Duncan with Paul Merritt and Jim de Bruin starting. Ronald Sanford from Fort Smith backs Lawton temporarily due to injuries on the roster. The Giants then travel to Ardmore for a three game series before a home doubleheader with Ardmore. Chickasha and Pauls Valley split, Ardmore beat Ada 8-4 then Ada won 2-1.
