An inning later Nick Peak led off with a single and scored on a triple (RBI) by Jerry Hinton.  Dick (a single in the seventh)  and David (a triple in the eighth) added non-run scoring hits.  Harvey Brown failed to push a run across leaving a runner on base in the first, second, third and eighth innings and leaving  two on in the fourth and ninth.  The Final - Christ Church 2 - Harvey Browne 0.

After Vince Richards died at second after a double in the first inning of Game Three, in the second inning with two outs, Andy Coates and Mark Nethary homered back to back to give Christ Church the lead.  Harvey Browne tied the game in the fifth.  Bill homered with one out and, with two outs, Richard doubled.  Jim moved him to third with a single and Fred H. drove in Jim and put two runners on.  But the third out stranded both and six other hits also resulted in stranded runners.  Christ Church did not put another runner on after a lead off single by Leah in the third until, with one out in the ninth, Vince, Dick (RBI) and David (RBI) each doubled as Christ Church won again in their last at bat.   The Final - Christ Church 4 - Harvey Browne 2.

STREAK ENDS

CHRIST CHURCH EXTENDS STREAK -- BARELY

Christ Church won their tenth straight Monday night series two games to one against visiting St. Matthews Baptist but it took last at-bat runs to pull off both wins.

Christ Church scored the opening run in the first inning of Game One on a single by Jerry Hinton and an RBI triple by Mike Peak.  However, a double by Bob and a home run by Bill put St. Matthews up 2-1 in the second.  Jerry's third inning triple was wasted but Christ Church tied the game in the fourth as Dick Lutz singled and scored on a triple (RBI) by Bob Stone.  Christ Church stranded Leah Bennett after a fifth inning single and Mike P after his eighth inning triple and could not add to their run total.  St. Matthews got all they needed in the seventh on a two run home run by Jim with Keene scoring in front of him.  The Final - St. Matthews Baptist 4 - Christ Church 2.

In Game Three, St. Matthews took a 1-0 lead on a home run by Homer in the second inning.  After failing to put a runner on through three innings, Christ Church tied the score in the fourth on a single from Tom Bennett and a triple (RBI) by David Stierle.  Mike P singled but was left on base in the seventh and the score was still tied at one with one out in the eighth when Mark Nethary homered to give Christ Church the victory.  The Final - Christ Church 2 - St. Matthews Baptist 1.

St, Matthews took the first lead in Game Two on solo home runs by both Bill and Jim in the second.  Bob cut the lead in half in the bottom of the inning with a solo home run of his own.  The two run lead was restored in the third on Susan's single and Curtis's triple.  Christ Church again trimmed the lead to one in the sixth on a triple by Jerry and a single (RBI) by Andy Coates.  Christ Church wasted lead off singles by Leah in the first and eight; a two out double by Jerry in the third; and a two out single by Maddie King in the seventh.  Trailing by a run in the ninth, Christ Church was down to their last out when Mark tied the game with a home run to seemingly send the game into extra innings, which were not needed as Maddie produced a walk off home run.  The Final - Christ Church 4 - St. Matthews Baptist 3.

SERIES WIN STREAK AT NINE

Christ Church put up four in the first inning of Game Two which turned into a hard fought affair.  Mike P started the inning with a single; Dick tripled (RBI); David singled (RBI); Vince tripled (RBI); and Bob doubled (RBI).  In the second,  Jerry tripled but was stranded.  Christ Church made it 5-0 in the third on a pair of doubles by David and Bob (RBI).  Immanuel made it a one run game with four in the fourth.  David singled, Jared doubled and both scored on a double by Alan.  Brandy homered to score two more.  Christ Church answered in the fifth on a single by Dick and a triple (RBI) by David.  Nick singled in the sixth and David tripled in the seventh but neither scored.  Christ Church added an insurance run in the ninth on a single and triple by Mike P and Dick (RBI).  A double by Adam and a triple by Zack brought tying run to the plate in the bottom of the ninth before the third out gave Christ Church the win.   The Final - Christ Church 7 - Immanuel 5.

Immanuel never trailed in Game Three after putting three runs on the board in the second (a triple by John; a double by Brandy; and a home run by Bob), although Christ Church did manage to tie the game in the fifth.  In the third, Mike Thompson homered with two outs.  Jerry followed with a triple and scored when Mike P singled (RBI) [4-2].  Immanuel added a run in the fourth on doubles by Jim and Bob [4-1].  Maddie King led off the fifth with a home run.  Mike T and Jerry (RBI) doubled to tie the game at four.  But in the bottom of the inning, Immanuel broke the game open on a double by Larry, singles by Buzz and David and a double by Jared before there were any outs.  Alan's two out double produced the fourth run.  Christ Church fought back in the seventh on a double by Maddie and a home run (2 RBI) by Mike T.  In the Immanuel half of the eighth, Jim reached on an error and came in on Bob's homer.  The Final - Immanuel 10 - Christ Church 6.

SERIES WIN STREAK REACHES EIGHT

In spite of visiting Trinity Presbyterian hitting nine home runs in game two, Christ Church won their eighth straight series Monday night.

 Trinity failed to score on two hits in Game Three.  Jerry and Dick opened the scoring in the first with a single and triple (RBI).  In the fourth, David led off with a double and scored on Vince's double (RBI).  An out later, Mike T also doubled (RBI) and Bob tripled to close the scoring.  David added a non-run scoring triple in the fifth.  The Final - Christ Church 4 - Trinity 0.

Christ Church took Games One and Two from visiting St. Matthews United Methodist Church Monday night.

St. Matthews led Game One 1-0 on a single by Carl2 and a triple by Jim going into the bottom of the second.  After wasting a two out triple by Jerry Hinton in the first Christ Church sent eleven batters to the plate in the second.  Mike Thompson started the onslaught with a lead off home run.  After a single by Tom Bennett, Bob Stone homered (2 RBI) to put Christ Church on top.  Mark Nethary followed with a triple and, an out later, scored on a single (RBI) by Leah Bennett who scored on a triple (RBI)by Mike P who was driven in on a single (RBI) from Jerry.  A two out triple (RBI) by Mike T (his second extra-base hit of the inning) made the score 7-1.  St. Matthews closed to within four with a two run third (Glenn- single; Ray- triple; Carl1 single) only to have Christ Church strike again in the sixth.  With two outs, Leah, Mike P (RBI), Jerry (RNI) and David (RBI) went single-triple-single-triple to score three and close out the scoring.  David (single); Mark (double) and Leah (single) added hits to a sixteen hit Christ Church offense.  The Final - Christ Church 10 - St. Matthews UMC 3.

St. Matthews also took a 1-0 lead in Game Two this time in the second on a home run by Norman.  Mike P in the first and Andy Coates in the second were stranded after one out singles.  But in the third, Frank Preston tied the game with a lead-off home run.  Mike P was again stranded in the third after another one out single after Frank's HR as was Leah after a two out triple in the fifth.  Mike T gave Christ Church their first lead of the game with a two out HR.  Christ Church added some insurance in the seventh.  Vince Richards led off with a double.  Then, after two outs Leah tripled (RBI); Mike P singled (RBI); and Jerry tripled (RBI).  David's walk failed to drive Jerry in and the inning ended with runners stranded on the corners.  The Final - Christ Church 5 - St. Matthews UMC 1.

Christ Church could manage only five hits in Game Three and only one run. Four of those were when Leah singled in the first; Vince doubled in the second and eighth, moving to third on a sacrifice by Mark; and Mike P singled in the ninth.  St. Matthews plated two in the first on a two out triple by Jim and a single by Freddie after Glenn had opened the game with a single.  Mike T cut the lead in half with a fourth inning home run.   A single by Jim and a triple by Frank erased that run in the seventh and Bruce's error Carl2's single and a triple by Jim and single by Frank ended the scoring.  The Final - St. Matthews UMC 6 - Christ Church 1.
