Lefty Grove era no hitter and tight Little League showdown at McGuan Field
Sunday featured two baseball classics at McGuan Field. A. J. Baltes delivered a 3-0 no hitter with Harold Gilchrist driving a pair of singles and seven team hits, while Bob Meyer's squad was stifled as Baltes benefited from two runs in the second and a final tally in the fifth. In the other game VFW edged Keslings 1-0 as Scott Hunter and Craig Sanger supplied key hits, and Clark Dawley held the late bid by VFW to preserve the win. Senior circuit action saw Local No. One rally to a five run fifth, Ford Continentals spark multiple homers to break a tie, Oberlin survive a Donnelley rally, and Donnelley No. One explode for 16 runs in five innings.
