In a two run game the Bristol Blasters ended a long winless drought and got by
the Iowa MoonlightGraham by the score of 4 to 2.
In the 4th inning Bristol went on top for good plating 2 runs on 3 hits.
Johnny Hopp led off and started the attack as he drew a walk. Hank Baylis
came to the plate and laid down a sacrifice bunt. Hank Thompson then doubled
which scored a run. After another out, Vern Bickford came up and he lined a
base-hit scoring the final run of the inning. Iowa had a chance to come back
in the 9th but they came up short.
Bickford(2-2) got credit for the victory, pitching 8 innings and allowing 1
run. Joe Page was credited with his 4th save. The losing pitcher was Slats
Newkirk(0-1). He pitched 6 and 2/3 innings allowing 7 hits and 5
walks.
Craig White was in a sour mood after the game. 'Even you guys up in the press
box know why we lost this game. We made too many mistakes.'
