Camp Adair Sentrv Page Twelve 96th Hardball League In 4-way Tie for First The big bats of the 383rd In fantry downed the undefeated Spe cial Troops, 7-6, to make a four- way tie in the 96th Division Base- ball Tournament. Catching-on to Reeder’s slow- ball, which had been so effective in previous games, the 383rd pounded out eleven hits, including three homers, one each by Barn- acle, Hapac and Payte. Shortstop Hapac was the main cog in the smooth-playing 383rd machine, playing one of his best fielding games of the season. He stopped several Special Troop threats by his excellent fielding, and collected three for four at the plate, to run his batting average for the tournament up to .444. * ! JOE I.Ol IS TO TOUR Sgt.

During the early innings, the Mosquito Destroyers piled up a comfortable lead of 5-2 and seemed pretty certain of victory. But in the fifth the City Slickers came to life and bunched several hits, scoring three runs. Neither side scored in the next two innings, forcing the game into extra frames. With a man on third and one oct, the Mosquito Destroyers seem ed certain to score with slugger Malcolm Lockett at the plate, but (o the amazement of the crowd and the | layers, the mighty Lockett fanned. The next batter also struck out, thu« ending the Mosquito Destroy er«’ threat. The Slickers came to bat in the second half of the eighth and by bunching their hits, scored the win ning tally.
