The results of the first

game, with Gary Horstmann
no-hitting the Rockets while
striking out 13 batters.
The Yoakum Indians eased
by the Shiner Clippers 4-3.
Tommy Cliff, in relief of Mike

winner in relief of Howard
Petrich, his second win in as
many days Young Horstmann
struck out 6 in 3 one-third
innings, walked 3 and hit 1.
Weimar and Flatonia, tied
up in what started out to be a
real thriller, but Flatonia
broke the game open in the Sth
with five big runs and
proceeded to down the Vets
7-0, much to the delight of
many Flatonia fans who
followed their team Dennis
Florus pitched the only
shut -out of the tournament, a
