The Eagles, a post baseball squad with stars from eight service clubs, begin workouts at Spudder Park under Manager Tom Graham. They host the Big Spring Bombardiers for a two game series on June 23 and 24, with a strong pitching staff and deep infield and outfield talent.
Lefty Graham limited the Hellcats to one hit as the Thunderbolts won 3 to 1 at Spud der Park Tuesday night. Tony Allegretti hit a first half triple for the lone Hellcat safety. Ray Chew delivered a clutch bunt for the Thunderbolts. Graham fanned 12, with Vahila allowing four hits in a hard fought game watched by about 3,200 fans and a Roosevelt prayer broadcast.
Big Johnny Scolinos, Cobra first sacker, earns on base acclaim with frequent walks and a sharp eye. He starred in Corpus Christi history, led the Valley League with 22 triples, batted .315, and logged time with Palestine in 1939 and California State League play. The Los Angeles native joined Sheppard Field in 1948 and remains a devoted student of baseball.
The Cobras defeated the Mosquitos 9 to 1 while the Hurricanes beat the Warhawks 13 to 1. Thunderbolts won 3 to 1 over the Hellcats and Avengers 3 to 0 against the Lightnings. Mustangs edged the Marauders 9 to 6 and Typhoons fell to Spitfires 5 to 1.
Don Gray pitched six hits and 13 strikeouts to pin a 5 1 victory on the Spitfires at Spud der Park. The Typhoons broke the game open with a four-run third inning while Woodward left the mound early and Spoon held the Spitfires in check. Wilmington Gray Gardner and Mundy led the Typhoons with two hits apiece as Typhoon Backstap Mundy tripled and scored in the second.
