SWEEP

Christ Church won all three games Monday night at Crescent Hill Baptist Church.  Christ Church never trailed, scoring in the first inning of all three games.

In Game One, Jerry Hinton singled and was driven in when Bob Stone tripled (RBI) for a 1-0 lead.  In the fourth, Paul Hirsbrunner singled and Mike Peak scored him with a triple (RBI).  Christ Church made it 5-0 in the seventh on a single by Charles Smith, an RBI triple by Kay Peak, an RBI single by Jerry and an RBI triple by David Stierle.  Jerry added another single, Paul a double, and Mike P. a triple.  Crescent Hill could manage only one hit in the 5-0 Christ Church win.

In Game Three, Christ Church struck for three runs in the first, two in the second, three in the fourth and five in the seventh.  In the first it was another lead-off single by Jerry, an RBI triple by Paul, an RBI single by Dick Lutz and an RBI triple by Mike Thompson.  In the second,  Terry Waddle doubled and Frank Preston followed with a two run Home Run.  The fourth saw Jerry single.  He was driven in by David's triple and he scored on the front end on Bob Stone's Home Run.  The five run seventh featured singles by Paul, Mike P. (RBI) and David (RBI); RBI triples by Dick and Jerry; and a two run Home Run by Terry.  Mike T. and Mike P. added singles in an eighteen hit attack.  Crescent Hill had a homer in the eighth for a final Game Two score of 13-1.

Game Three saw much less offense.  Paul singled and Charles tripled (RBI) for the early 1-0 lead.  Christ Church was without a hit from then until the fifth inning when doubles by Frank and Kay (RBI) made the score 2-0.  An inning later Mike P. tripled (RBI) after a single by Paul to give Christ Church a 3-0 lead.  Christ Church's only other hit was a single by Paul.  In the ninth, Crescent Hill mounted a challenge with a lead-off single and a one out two run home run.  But the threat ended there in a 3-2 win and a series sweep.

Christ Church had eleven players.  All had at least two hits, led by Paul's eight.  All had at least one RBI, led by 3 by David, Bob, and Mike P.  Christ Church hit .310 for the night, had four doubles, twelve triples and three home runs.

Christ Church will carry a five game hitting streak into next weeks series against Immanuel at Christ Church.
