This means, that according to the usual practice, the Vics and Corktown will have to play off the tie game and a win for the Vics will mean that the round is all tied up. It was thought that the point system applied to the series but from information received there was no such ruling in the minutes of the league, so it looks as if the tie game will have to be replayed, as it certainly has a bearing on the standings. In last evening’s game, Corktown took a nearly lead but the fourth frame saw the Vics turn the tables and hold the advantage until the final frame. The score by innings was: Corktown… 0-0-1-0-2-0-4-0-0---7 Vics………… 0-0-0-5-0-1-4-2-x---12 The teams: Corktown—Henderson, 1st base, From, 1st base, Ball, 2nd base, Henry, short stop, McCreary, catcher, Neath, 3rd base, O’Krafka, pitcher, Bruce, right field, Franks, centre field, Stark, left field, Rife, left field. Vics—Deemert, 2nd base, Perry, catcher, Walker, left field, Goebel, short stop, Raymond, centre field, Pullam, 3rd base, Gibson, right field, Warnholz, first base, Levitt, pitcher. |

Morriston Wins Softball Series August 30th 1934. Defeat Corktown Girls by 18 to 14 Count and Take Group Title The Morriston misses handed the Corktown girls an 18 to 14 defeat in Forbes park last evening to win the final series of the rural girls’ softball group. Morriston took the first two games in the three-out-of-five final series and then Corktown took a win on Monday night. The fourth game was played here last night when, in a see-saw affair, the visitors won to take their third victory and the group title. The first few frames looked as if it would be a closely fought game with a low count. Hespeler stepped into the lead at first, to have the visitors reverse the standing in the fourth. The local lassies managed to go out in front again in the eighth but the misses from Morriston staged a ninth inning rally to score ten runs and put the fixture on ice. Evelyn Culp did the pitching for Morriston, and this girl, who has pitched practically all of the team’s games, threw them up steadily and, excepting the eighth inning, held control of the situation. She struck out three and gave two passes. Marie McCreary started for Corktown and went 8€ innings with three strikeouts and two walks chalked up. In the ninth frame, Isabel Rife was put on the mound to try to stop Morriston’s hitting program but the visitors kept right on, assisted by a couple of errors, to hammer the ball around. The score: Morriston… 0-0-0-4-2-0-0-2-10…18 Corktown… 1-1-1-0-2-0-0-6-03….14 Batteries— Morriston—E. Culp and McPherson (catcher), Corktown-- M.
McCreary, Umpires--- Bruce, of Hespeler, at the plate and Gregor, of Morriston, on the bases. |
