Gulls fall as Grangers win Braves style series closer at Portsmouth
In a clumsy Norfolk Richmond Portsmouth trio of games the Grangers defeated the Gulls in a misplayed series kept lively by Stockdale and Armstrong. Nothermel and Cleve stood out for Portsmouth as Stockdale and Arm strong both pitched inconsistently. The Grangers won on merit with Boyd's steady fielding and a notable running catch by Sheckard. Umpire calls drew some ire but did not alter the final score.
