Colts Win Again
Defeat Lion 9-8
Rocky Mountain Diesels Local Truck Drivers Receive
31V Hourly Pay Boost
Clinton Colts are continuing
their dizzy pace in the Huron-
Perth Baseball League. The local
club, after dropping their first
four games of the season, have
now won nine of their last
eleven contests and tied one
other. As a result they have
climbed from last position into
third place and are, only a few
points back of ' Mitchell who are
currently holding down the sec-
ond rung.
The Colts' latest victory was
Monday evening when they de-
' feated the Lucan Irish Nine 9-8
in a six-inning battle. It was a
close game with the lead chang-
ing hands practically each in-
ning. The Colts however deserv-
ed the victory as they outhit
their_ rivals eleven to five.
Bill Craig started his second
game on' the mound for the Colts
and was credited with his second
win although he had to be re-
lieved by Bartliff in the sixth,
In the hitting department prac-
tically all • the Colts hit safely.
McEwan had his biggest night of
the season with a single, double
and a triple; Ron Carter and
Danny Colquhoun each collected
a pair of safeties and Bill Nedi-
ger reached first every time up
to the plate-he had a single and
three walks.
The Colts hope to be at full
strength very soon; Bud Schoen-
t'hals is expected to be back in
action before playoffs and Bob
Carrick has now had the cast
removed from his thumb and
'should soon be available for his
regular turn on the mound.
The last scheduled game on
the local diamond is Thursday
evening with Exeter furnishing
the opposition.
