In a closely fought Tri County League game Rusk defeated Grapeland 5 to 3. The article notes Sardis and Palestine also won, with Laneville Frankston Murchison and Elkhart results mentioned, and previews a July 4 All Star event at Sardis.
Sardis moved ahead in Tri County play as they beat Murchison 10-4 after a ninth inning burst, with Dean Chapman homering in the first and Dick Bobbitt, Marshall Dear, and a late two-run double fueling the win. The Wildcats remain atop the standings at 10-1, while Thomas Ralph Beckham attends Nacogdoches Business College this summer.
The Oil Belt League's second ranked Troup defeated Sardis 4-3 in 11 innings before a packed crowd. Sardis tied the score with a Middleton home run, but Troup plated the winning run late, with Middleton pitching eight innings and Jess Steakley recording 14 strikeouts. A rematch is set in Troup next Wednesday at 7:45.
