Milan brothers pace tied nine as Altrocke and Griffiths halt
In Charlottesville on March 14 Stanley T. Milliken reports a 1-1 deadlock between Altrocke and Griffiths. Clyde Milan opened with a triple, scoring on Judge’s single. Hosa Milan followed with a three base hit that would have cleared the bases if not for heavy ground. Judge added a line drive and a relay at the plate, with Gharrity preventing a run. Three pitchers apiece saw little success, as both teams threatened multiple times but failed to convert. Joe Judge starred with three hits, while Clyde Milan added two. Final score: Altrocks 1 Griffiths 1 after regulation.
