Washburn and Topeka Battle In Thirteen Inning Tie
In Weedburn Field Washburn and Topeka played a marathon thirteen inning game that ended eight to eight due to darkness after La France injury and a later forfeit. Griggs pitched thirteen strong innings for Washburn, allowing ten hits with three walks and two earned runs. The patchwork Leaguers and the Washburnites exchanged leads, with standout plays by Mehl, Oleson, and Kellar, and Alberts reacting furiously as the game was halted before a decisive finish. The showdown resumes Friday for the final game of the three game series ahead of a championship clash next Sunday in Leavenworth.
