her first score. By good team work
Stayton prevented any further runs and
took her turn at the bat. Scio here
showed some excellent team work and
gave the home boys a complete shut
out.
In the third, the teams broke even,
each adding a single score. Likewise
the fourth was honors even, as neither
team had a man who could circle the
diamond. From this time on Scio
failed to score. Not, however, because
they did not play good ball, for they
were really clever. But the Stayton boys
were just a little more clever than the
visitors, and played as one man, show
ing the best team work the home
ground has seen this season. In the
5th, Korinek annexed one more tally
and Wolford did the same in the
following inning. Stayton did not go
to the bat the last half o f the ninth,
and allowed the score to stand 5-2 in
favor o f the local lads.
