Merchants Rally to Take 2-0 Fastball Final Lead
The MacGregor Merchants surged to a 2-0 series lead over the Portage West End Pirates in the Commercial Fastball League best-of-five finals. In game one, MacGregor rallied for six runs in the fourth inning and held on for a 7-6 win, while game two saw a 19-9 Merchants victory behind lead-off homer by Jim Boaz and multi-hit efforts from Hooper Wright and others. Dallas Barber earned the win in game one, Harold Wright the winner in game two as MacGregor left multiple West End runners on base and capitalized on early offense to seize control of the series.
