RED BIRDS TROUNCE CARDINALS
9-3; TAYLOR BELTS HOME RUN
Sam Maglitto’s Red Birds are
still clinging to the top rung in the
Tarleton Intramural Softball Lea-
gue. Last week the Red Birds down-
ed the Cardinals 9-8 as Willett
sparked the attack by getting two
bingles in two trips. Maglitto con-
tinued his masterful hurling by al-
lowing only four Cards to reach
first via the hit route.
Dennis Tpylor, distance hither for
the Birds; connected with one of
Benson’s fast balls in the third and
hit it up and over for a home run.
