MIKE THOMPSON EXTRA INNING HOME RUN SALVAGES WIN

Christ Church continued to struggle to score runs in dropping two of three at Harvey Browne Monday night. Harvey Browne never trailed in Game One taking a 4-0 lead on a two run home run by Mike (after a single by Jim) in the bottom of the first and a pair of home runs in the fourth by Dick and Greg. Tom Bennett reached on an error in the second and Mike Peak tripled in the sixth before Christ Church got on the board in the seventh.  David Stierle singled with one out and scored on a triple by Andy Coates (RBI). Tom Bennett then drove Andy in with a single (RBI) to cut the lead in half. A triple by Bill and a single by Jim moved the lead up to three. Jerry Hinton contributed an eighth inning single and David and Andy added singles of their own in the ninth. The Final – Harvey Browne 5 – Christ Church 2.

Christ Church failed to score in Game Two tallying only three hits- singles by Leah Bennett (in the second), David (in the eighth) and Kay Peak (in the ninth). Harvey Browne scored all their runs on home runs by Mike, a solo home run in the fifth and a three run home run in the eighth. The Final – Harvey Browne 4 – Christ Church 0.

Christ Church took their first lead of the night in the top of the first of Game Three. Mike P. led off with a single and scored an out later by a triple (RBI) by Jerry. With two outs, Jerry scored on a single (RBI) by David and Christ Church led 2-0. In the third, Bob Stone led off with a single and, once again with two outs, David tripled (RBI) and Tom singled for a four run lead. A single by Fred and back to back home runs by Mike and John cut the lead Christ Church to one after six. In the Christ Church half of the seventh, a single by Kay and a triple (RBI) by Mike P. made the lead two. Harvey Browne answered in the seventh on a single by Fred and another home run by John to tie the score at five apiece. Non-scoring hits for Christ Church came from Vince Richards (a single in the second); Mike P. (triple in the fourth); Bob (single in the tenth); and David (single in the thirteenth). But in the thirteenth, Jerry doubled to start the inning and scored ahead of Mike Thompson's game winning home run. The Final – Christ Church 7 – Harvey Browne 5.
