La Grange Babes Go
Into Tri-Co Finals
Against Bellville
La Grange’s Babe Ruthers
play the Bellville Babes in Co-
lumbus Thursday night (to-
night) for the championship of
the 17-team Tri-County Lea-
gue.
The La Grange lads defeated
Rosenberg, 8-1, and Bellville
spanked Flatonia, 5-1, in the
semi - finals Wednesday night.
Both clubs are members of
the central division, Bellville
having finished first and La
Grange second in the regular
season.
Ricky Blume tossed no-hit
ball for five frames against
Rosenberg, and wound up with
a two-hitter as his mates poun-
ded out eight bingles. La
Grange counted duos in the
first and fourth frames, added
one in the sixth, and let the
curtain down in the top of the
seventh with a lusty trio on
only on hit. Two walks, wild
pitch, stolen base, two Rosen-
berg errors and Trlicek’s two-
bagger turned the seventh
stanza trick.
The losers got their lone run
in the last of the seventh on a
bingle, stolen sack and an in-
field error.
La Grange got only seven
hits Monday night, but the Les
Blume - skippered youngsters
pulled three squeeze plays and
a “hotbox” situation to count
important runs as they routed
Hallettsville, 8-3, in their play-
off opener.
Henry Holub Jr., meanwhile,
chunked a four-hitter at the
opposition and was accorded
creditable support.
Jimmy Trlicek garnered
three of La Grange’s hits, and
Joe Michael Kana contributed
a long triple.
