CHRIST CHURCH WINS SERIES

After dropping an extra inning game one at Trinity Monday night, Christ Church took the next two games to win the series.

Christ Church took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning of Game One.  Jerry Hinton singled and scored on a triple (RBI) from Mike Thompson.  The lead was extended to 3-0 in the third on a two out triple by Mike Peak; a single (RBI) by David Stierle; and a triple (RBI) by Jerry.  A home run (by Dennis), double (Don) and a triple (David) moved Trinity to within a run.  There was no additional scoring until an eighth inning home run by David tied the score.  A scoreless ninth sent the game into extra innings.  In the first extra inning, a single by Leah and a triple by Tom Bennett put Christ Church up 4-3.  But in the bottom of the tenth, a double and a two out two run home run gave Trinity the victory.  Christ Church got non-run scoring singles from Leah in the first, Jerry in the sixth, Tom in the eighth and Andy Coates in the ninth.  The Final - Trinity 5 - Christ Church 4.

Game Two was scoreless through four innings.  Christ Church's sole hit over four innings was a lead off single by Leah in the fourth.  In the fifth, a two out solo home run by Dick Lutz opened the scoring.  After a single by Leah to lead off the sixth was wasted, in the seventh Jerry got things going with a single and scored on a triple (RBI) by Mike T.   Dick followed with a single (RBI) to put Christ Church up by three.  A home run by Bonnie in the bottom of the inning cut into the lead but a single by Leah to open the eight resulted in a run on a triple (RBI) by Jerry as Christ Church took a three run lead into the ninth.  It was just barely enough as Tom and Bonnie homered to leave Trinity a run short.  The Final  - Christ Church 4 - Trinity 3.

 Christ Church scored in only two innings in Game Three.  Leah again singled to open the game but was left on base.  Andy's single and Dick's triple (RBI) gave Christ Church a short lived lead.  Bob tied the game with a home run in the bottom.  In the third Leah singled for the second time.  But this time Tom drove Leah in with a triple (RBI).  This run was followed by a single (RBI) from Mike P; a triple (RBI) by Jerry; a single (RBI) by David; and a triple (RBI) by Andy for a five run third inning and a five run lead.  A home run by Tom in the bottom of the second trimmed the lead to four.  That run turned out to be the last score of the game.  Christ Church also got hits from Leah, a single in the fourth; David, a single in the fifth; Tom, a triple in the sixth; Jerry, a single in the seventh; and Tom, a single in the ninth.  The Final  - Christ Church 6 - Trinity 2.
