Christ
Church hosted Watkins Monday night. Game One was tight all the way.
In the Christ Church first, Mike
Peak singled and Jerry
Hinton followed with a triple (RBI)
to edge in front. In the third a one out single by David
Stierle and a triple by Leah
Bennett (RBI) made it 2-0.
That lead was wiped out in the fourth with three runs on a triple from Gene and back
to back homers by Norm and Jay. Christ Church
regained the lead in the seventh with three runs of their own. Kay
Peak started the rally with a lead
off double. Then, after two were out, Mike
P tripled (RBI), Jerry
singled (RBI), and Leah
tripled (RBI) for a 5-3 advantage.
Dick's eighth inning HR cut the final margin to one. David,
Leah and Tom
added non-run scoring singles.
THE FINAL – CHRIST CHURCH 5 –
WATKINS 4.
Watkins evened the series in Game
Two. Christ Church fell behind 3-0 (Jay- home run; Dick- error;
Gene- triple; and Wendell- single) before they got
on the board in the fourth on Jerry's
single and Andy
Coates' triple (RBI). But that
proved to be Christ Church's sole run of the game. Non-scoring hits
for Christ Church came from David
(triple and single); Jerry
(single); and Andy
(single). A double by
Wendell and a home run by Norm added to Watkins total. THE
FINAL – WATKINS 5 – CHRIST CHURCH 1.
Watkins
could manage only one hit and no runs in Game Three. Mike
P had two singles but did not figure
in the scoring. The Christ Church runs came from Sydney
Raderer home run (RBI) in the third;
Mike Thompson (single)
and Dick Lutz (RBI
triple) in the fourth; and Jerry
(triple) and
Leah (RBI single) in the fifth.
THE FINAL – CHRIST CHURCH 3 –
WATKINS 0.
