Christ Church Falls To Immanuel

Christ Church started strong Monday at Immanuel when Mike Peak and Dick Lutz led off with a single and triple to score a run. Later in the inning,  Jerry Hinton added a single to drive in Dick for a 2-0 lead.  But Christ Church added only four more hits (Paul Hirsbrunner- single; Jerry Hinton- triple; Dick Lutz- single; and David Stierle- single) and Immanuel had only four hits total and Christ Church took Game One victory by that score.

In Game Two, Christ Church led 1-0 after two (Bob Stone homered);   4-0 after two and a half (Jenny Peak and Mike Thompson had home runs, and Jerry tripled and scored on David's single);   5-3 after four and a half (Dick scored after a single on Jerry's triple).  Immanuel took a 6-5 lead in the seventh,  Christ Church tied it at six in the eighth when Bob Stone doubled and Paul  followed with a triple.  But with one out in the bottom of the last, a home run gave Immanuel the win.  Mike Thompson's double in the first, Jenny reaching base on an error in the fourth, and Mike Peak's one out single in the ninth, all were wasted.

Christ Church could manage only five hits in Game Three.  Jerry singled and scored as Mike Thompson tripled in the fourth for a 1-0 lead.  Mike also singled in the seventh and Kay doubled in the eighth but both died on base.  Trailing 4-1 going into the ninth, Dick Lutz homered but Christ Church fell 4-2.
