Watkins Wins Series

For the second week in a row, Christ Church used a strong Game Two to avoid a series sweep.

In Game One, Christ Church's only score came on a Bob Stone home run in the second inning after Watkins had taken a 3-0 lead,  Watkins added two more runs for a 5-1 victory. In Game Three, Christ Church matched Watkins single runs in the third and the fourth with a Terry Waddle double and a David Stierle triple in the third and Mike Thompson's home run in the fourth.  But that finished the scoring for Christ Church and Watkins added two in the sixth for a 4-2 final.

Christ Church started fast in Game Two, scoring two when David Stierle singled, Charles Smith tripled, and Mike Thompson added a single.  After Watkins cut the lead to 2-1, Christ Church struck again in the fifth.  Clete Thompson led off with a double and scored on Terry Waddle's triple.  David Stierle drove him in with a single and scored on John Frederick's triple.  Christ Church scored again in the sixth (Mike Thompson- home run) and seventh (Terry Waddle- triple; David Stierle- single) and, after Watkins scored two in the ninth, won Game Two and avoided a sweep by a score of 7-3.

The season concludes next week when Christ Church visits Harvey Browne.
