The Frey’s Quick Service dub tripped the General Tire club 6-2 in a Sportsman League event and then came the big jolt when a rejuvenated Logan Auto Parts team came from behind to defeat the RBM Shamrocks 3 to 2 in an Industrial League feature.Frey’s jumped into a 4-2 lead in the first two innings and sailed on to victory as Bud Zimpleman bested Harry Newell in a neat pitching duel. Zimpleman allowed the Tires five hits and Newell was {nicked for six blows. The hits were well scattered on both sides.The second game saw the Logan Auto Parts presenting a new pitcher, Ray McNeal, recently of the V. S, Navy, and he made such a difference in the team that they not only outplayed the much heralded Shamrocks but outhit and outran them. KcNeal was opposed on the mound by Bob Eiler of the Shamrocks and he too was in good form-The Shamrocks got the first tally : of the game in the top half of the; third inning when with two out; Roy Pier singled and Jim Smith ; tripled- They added another in the fourth when Pick Baker was hit by b pitched ball and thcr? went all the way to t,hird on a sacrifice bunt Mark Flora scut him home wjjb a double. That was all for the Shamrocks. iMcNeai Socks Homer In-the last of the fourth McNeal came to bat with two out and sock-, ed a home run imo deep left field, to narrow the gap to 2-1. That’s; where the score remained until the I last of the seventh when with 1 out | Ned Grable lofted a drive into deep \ right field which outfielder Clifton j Cox muffed. Bill Jones was hit with a pitched'ball. Carl Richter slammed a single into left field and Ned Grable scored to tie up the game but Jones was thrown out at! third base. Merrill Grable, who pro-j viously had singled twice, came to ■ bat and shot a single into left field j scoring Richter from second base: with the winning run.The loss wsks, the first of! the j league season for the Shamrocks, I who up to last night had looked al-; ; most unbeatable. The revived Lo- j 1 gan Auto parts team slowed them:1 down a bit and Rained a lot of respect for themselves. In the last meeting the Shamrocks had slaughtered the Auto Part*! club 22-5 but the RBM found that the injection of' ] one player into the Auto Paris line- •, up was more than they had antic-; e ipated.
