White Sox Lead League
BY GENE BURNETT
The Red Sox ran roughshod
over the Indians in Tuesday’s
first game at Little League
Field and the White Sox
trimmed the Yankees in the
second game to take
undisputed possession of first
place in the Kermit Freshman-
League.
RED SOX 15, INDIANS 5
The Red Sox sent 16 batters
to the plate in the bottom of
the first inning and scored 13
runs on 10 base hits, two walks
and three fielder’s choice
grounders to swamp the
Indians in Tuesday’s first game
played in high winds and
threatening skies. After that
first inning it was strictly no
contest and the Red Sox closed
it out in four innings because
of the 10-run rule.
Dan TJaygood started for
the Indians and went all' the
way. He was touched for 12
hits and walked five while
striking out none. Every ball
hit was just out of reach of an
Indian fielder. On the other
hand, most of the Indians’
hard-hit balls were right at a
fielder.
Scott Edwards pitched the
game for the Red Sox and
suffered lapse of control in the
third when he gave up four of
the Indians’ five runs on four
bases on balls arid a pair of
base hits. In all, Edwards
allowed but three hits, walked
four and struck out five.
Dan Hyman, Todd Ethridge
and Haygood each hit safely
for the Indians, while Joe
Dominguez, Edwards and
Monte Egger hit a pair each for
the Red Sox. Randy Walker,
Cole Mitchell, Corby Biddle,
Mike Wright, Steve Jenkins and
Kent Smead each had a base
hit for the Red Sox.

WHITE SOX 7, YANKEES 1
The White Sox took over
undisputed possession of the
league lead as they used four
base hits, seven walks and four
errors to push across seven runs
and defeat the winless Yankees
in Tuesday’s nightcap.
After a scoreless first inning
the White Sox scored four in
the second on three walks, two
errors and a single base hit.
They added another pair in the
fourth on an error, a walk, a
base hit and a ground out and
got their final run in the fifth
on a single, two infield outs
and a wild pitch.
The Yankees picked up
their only tally in the sixth on
an error, a passed ball and a
base hit.
Steven Joiner went four
innirigs to get the win for the
White Sox. Rene Martinez
pitched in relief and got the
save.
John Steward started for
the Yankees and his wildness
caused him to be relieved by
Rusty Akin in the second.
Steward was the loser. Each
team got four hits with
Steward picking up two for the
Yankees and Patrick Partin and
Steven Isaacs getting one each.
Kevin Shipman had two of
the White Sox hits. Joiner and
Brent Barrs also hit safely for
the pale hose.

Cubs Defeat Sports;
Lions Edge Firebugs
BY GENE BURNETT
The Cubs won their second
game against one loss and the
Lions took their first victory of
the season in an overtime win
against the Firebugs in
Monday’s games at Winkler
County Park.
CUBS 10, SPORTS 4
The Cubs took full
advantage of the 10 walks and
two hit batsmen they received
at the hands of Gaylon King in
Monday’s first game at Little
League Field. King gave up
only five hits and struck out 12
but his wildness kept him in
constant trouble.
Winded Richards pitched
shutout ball for the Cubs
through the first four innings
and had excellent support
afield. He gave up a run in the
fifth and tired in the sixth as
the Sports got four of their
sever! hits and put across three
runs, but the rally was too
little and too late.
The Cubs got a pair of runs
in the second on two hits,
added two more in the third on
three walks, a wild pitch and
an infield out, picked up
another pair in the fourth on a
couple of base knocks and
combined three walks, two hit
batsmen arid a long single to
plate four more in the fifth.
After five innings they led
10-1. The Sports’ mild flurry in
the sixth made the final score
read 10-4.
David Stuart and Gaylon
King had two hits each fpr the
Sports. Richards, with three
for three and four runs batted
in, led the Cubs at the plate.
LIONS 7, FIREBUGS 6
It took eight innings to
decide this epic thriller and as
most of the Firebug-Lion
battles in the past it kept the
fans on the edge of their seats
all the way.
The Lions took an early 4-1
lead on a walk, error and a
single base hit, but the
Firebugs battled back to tie the
score after four innings. Then
in the top of the fifth an error,
a base hit and a walk loaded
the bases for the Firebugs and
the Lions sent Rubin Briones
to the mound to replace starter
Papoose Roark. Briones got
Clifton King on a pop-up to
third and struck out Greg Davis
and Lary Eisenbach to get out
of this monumental jam. He
gave up a run in the sixth on a
walk, two ground outs and an
error by the first baseman
which tied the score at 5-5.
The Lions went down
peacefully in the sixth and
seventh and this set the stage
for the eight-inning heroics by
both teams. Dwayne Terry
walked to start it off for the
Firebugs in the top of the
inning, stole second and rode
home on Ray Boring’s long
drive to left center. A ground
out and strike out. got two men
away but Ray Eisenbach kept
the rally alive with an infield
hit, Billy Stevens then walked
to load the bases but Briones
got Larry Hill to ground out
second to first to retire the
side.
Briones then opened the
Lion half of the eighth with a
drive to right which Oscar
Lujan caught and then
dropped. Roark walked and
Kirk Williams singled to load
the bases. Briones scored when
a pitch got away from the
catcher; this tied the score.
Tommy Dowling and Rick
Swaney both struck out and
George Sanders swung at a
third strike which got away
from the catcher. He beat the
throw to first as Roark crossed
with the winning run.
Roark went four innings for
the Lions and gave up four
runs, five hits, struck out two
and walked two. Briones in
relief also worked four innings
and was touched for three hits,
two runs, walked three and
struck out four.
Larry Hill went all the way
for the Firebugs and gave up
seven runs on five hits. He
walked six and struck out 15.
Kirk Williams collected
three of the Lions’ five hits.
Briones and Dowling also had
base hits.
Ray Boring got three hits,
Billy Stevens and Greg Davis
had a pair each and Roy
Eisenbach got the other for the
Firebugs.
