Bevkley and Logan clash in third place race showdown
Bert Grimm mounts the Logan Indians for a Beckley afternoon game at A M I Park against the Bengals at 4 15. The Logan squad from Bluefield arrives after a 9 5 loss to Blue Grays in the final game yesterday, shaping a series that will decide who holds the third place behind Williamson and Welch. Grimm, a veteran, will deploy a rooky laden attack while himself often working as a reliever. The Bengals broke even with Williamson in ten innings, Raleigh Singleton driving in the decisive run on Russell Keaton's hit, as Beckley and Williamson traded late threats with miscues fueling a 9 9 tie before Schumacher and co. sealed the win.
