Staffa. Merchants used a
three-run rally in the bottom of
the seventh inning to stave off
elimination in their playoff
set with Caledonia as they
squeaked by the southern team
13-12 in Staffa Monday.
The home team used four
three-run innings and a one-
run second frame to count ail
their runs while Caledonia man-

All the Caledonia scoring
was confined to three innings

other runs.

11-0 in what was a ''must"
win for the Merchants who
have to win all three of the
remaining games of the series
to stay alive,
The two teams used a total
of seven pitchers during the
slugging marathon and none

The home team jumped' into

a single by Laurie McKellar,
and a Caledonia error gave
them a 7.4 margin.
They retained their edge
through two innings before Ca-

the sixth on five straight hits
sandwiched between a pair of
Staffs errors.
Staffa took a one-run lead in
their half of the inning but it
too was short-lived as Caledo-

seventh.
However, Staffa decided',the
issue in the bottom of the stan-
