They won the game 13 -5 and male only 2 errors and showed good base running - good hustle and good sportsmanship. The boyse played the game of baseball as it should be' played and as far as I am conceined they made me and the fans from Seaforth' proud of their euven- lls team. / The Merchants were behind and there were a few close calls but they kept playing the game and came through with a big win by a score of 13 - 5.. The first inning was scoreless for Seaforth and Port Elgin picked one, run. In the second inning each team picked up a run. In the third Port Elgin picked' up an- other run and Seaforth was shut out. The fourth was scoreless again for both teams. The Mer- chants shut out the Port again in the fifth and picked up 3 runs to put them in the lead. , The sixth was seereless. In the seventh the Merchants once again rallied for 5 runs and held the Port 'scoreless. Another rally in the eighth with 3 runs and none for the home team. In the ninth Seafdrth picked up 1 run, and Port Elgin 2 to end -the game. Although every- one played well there were 2 standout fielding ball players and they were Dennis Campbell and Ray Mennell. Mennell played third base and he did an out- standing job there. First base- man Campbell made the catch of the game when he scooped up a hard hit ground ball to his right between first and second and pan back to first to make the put out. This catch seemed to inspire the entire, team as Campbell up until this game had not been playing to the best of his ability. Jerry Feeney played at their next home game - Sat 29 July - 6:30 PM Optimist rec grounds when Port Elgin comes to town.
