Tigers nip Colts in twelve
by Bob Livermore
In Crediton last Friday
evening, the Clinton • Colts
romped to their victory of the
season against only one loss
by defeating the Mets early,
17-4.
Steve Switzer gained his
fifth victory by allowing only •
two runs in six innings of good ,
pitching. Don MacDonald
finished up. the last three
innings allowing the Mets
their final two runs.
The Colts unleashed a 19 hit
barrage against the hopeless
Mets. Doc Miller clobbered
.two home runs ' to bring his
league total to four this
season, tying Paul Bartliff for
that lead. Cann MacDonald
also homered in the contest.
It was MacDonald's first
homer of the season. Cal
Fremlin was the hitting star
of the game as he went four
for five at the plate. He hit
three doubles and a single in
raising his average to .440.
Miller and Butch Fleet
were right behind Fremlin in
the hitting department as
they each collected three hits.
Miller had two homers and a
double, driving in six runs
while Fleet had two singles
Mand a double in four trips to
the plate, raising his average
to .362.
Don MacDonald, Paul
Bartliff, Cam MacDonald and
the unheralded Newt Collins
each collected two hits. It was
Collins' first hits of the
season, giving everyone on
the team at least one hit for
the season. Switzer had the
other Colt hit.
Last Sunday night in
Clinton, the Dashwood Tigers
defeated ' the Colts 7-6 in 12
innings. It was the final game
in the schedule between each
team.
On the. series play this year,
the Colts held the edge for the
six games, winning four and.
losing two. It was a well
played game and even though
the Colts lost, they still
maintained their position in
first place. The final schedule
game was played on Tuesday
evening against Thorndale.
-he. Tigers started out very
6luickly, scoring three times
in the.first inning. Two walks
and two, back to back singles
by Dawe Parsons.and Bestard
producedthree runs.. Clinton
roared back with three runs
of their own in the bottom half
of the first inning to tie the
score 3-3.
Don MacDonald led off with
a walk. Back to back singles
by Frei'nlin and Paul Bartliff
produced one run, Paul
Bartliff scored on a fielders'
choice by Miller. After a walk
to Don Bartliff, Stew Mustard
reached first on an error with
Miller scoring on the error.
With single runs in the
second and third innings off
pitcher Mark Nicholson, the
Tigers took a 5-3 lead. In the
fourth inning, the Colts once
again tied the score. Three
walks in a row to Nicholson,
MacDonald and Fremlin
loaded the bases with one out.
Miller delivered a single,
scoring the two runs.
It stayed a tie until the
Colts' seventh inning. Miller
walked 'to open the seventh.
Don Bartliff sacrificed him to
second. Fleet then doubled
Miller home with the go
ahead run.
The Tigers tied the score 6-6
in the ninth to send the game
into extra innings. A
beautifully executed suicide
squeeze bunt by Dave • Par-
sons scored the tying run.
In the top of the 12th inning,
the Tigers scored thewinning
run on, what looked lke a very
innocent play. Brad Gregus
singled and when Jim Dickey
laid down a bunt, Colt pitcher
Cam,, MacDonald threw the
ball` high in the air over the
first baseman, Paul Bartliff.
By the time the ball was
retrieved by right -fielder
Fremlin, Gregus had scored
, the winning run.
Cam MacDonald suffered
his first loss of the season in
relief of Mark Nicholson. His
record is now four wins and
one loss. The combined pit-
ching of Nicholsc9n and
MacDonald produced 16
strikeouts in the contest. The
Tigers outhit the Colts, 13 to 9.
Nicholson had three hits,
and Don Bartliff with a triple
and .a single led the Colt at-
tack. Former. Colt, Rick
Schilbe had four hits to lead
the Tigers to the victory.
The playoffs were to be
arranged Monday night at a
meeting in Dashwood. The
Colts will either be playing
Crediton o'r Thorndale in the
first round. Check the posters
around town for dates and
times of playoff .games.
