CHRIST CHURCH WINS SERIES

Christ Church visited Trinity Presbyterian for the first time Monday night and won two of three.

In Game One, Jerry Hinton led off the game with a single but died at first.  Christ Church struck for the first runs of the game in the second on a single by Tom Bennett, a triple (RBI) by David Stierle and a single (RBI) by Andy Coates.    Mike Peak singled in the third and scored on a triple (RBI) by Tom.  A Trinity home run by Irv cut into the lead in the bottom of the third.  Christ Church had singles from Vince Richards (in the fourth), Leah Bennett (fifth), David and Frank Preston (both in the sixth) without increasing their two run lead.  In the seventh Leah singled and moved to second on a sacrifice from Mike P and to third on a single by Bob Stone.  David followed with a single (RBI) to score Leah and close out the scoring for Christ Church.  A ninth inning home run was all Trinity could add on.   THE FINAL - CHRIST CHURCH 4 - TRINITY 2.

In Game Two, a first inning home run by Thomas gave Trinity the early lead.  Christ Church again wasted a first inning single, this time a single by Leah.   But again, Christ Church got on the board in the second.  Tom led off with a single and scored on a triple (RBI) by Bob.  Frank Preston homered (2 RBI) to make the score 3-1.  Mike P singled in the third and again in the sixth.  He was left on base in the third but scored in the sixth on a home run (2 RBI) by Tom.  David added a single but did not score.  That made the score 5-3, Trinity having scored two in the fourth on back to back home runs by Larry and Irv.   David singled in the ninth but was left on base. THE FINAL- CHRIST CHURCH 5 - TRINITY 3.

 In Game Three, Christ Church could manage only four hits and one run.  Andy reached on an error in the second; Leah tripled with two outs in the third; Vince doubled in the fifth; and Andy singled in the seventh.  But Christ Church's sole run came in the second on a lead off home run by Mike Thompson.  Trinity could manage only two runs themselves, but that was enough, both runs coming in the third on a double by Don, a triple by Steve and a single by Kyle.  THE FINAL - TRINITY 2 - CHRIST CHURCH 1.
