Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1948-08-12, Page 8]:AGE EIGHT Cl�InITON xTEWS-RECORI S -P - SEASON'S FINEST COLTS-HENSALL SEES COLTS SHUT' CRUCIAL SERIES OUT LUCAN 7-0 IN LEAGUE TITLE • In what spectators believed was the best game of the schedule to date, Clinton Colts shutout Lucan Irish Nine 7-0 in a Huron -Perth Baseball League match in Com- munity Park Friday evening last. The decision lengthened Colts' lead, as Hensall was dropping a close 8-7 decision at Mitchell at the same time. For three innings, there was no scoring, but in the last of the fourth, Colts broke out in one of their typical slier. Neilans tripl_ ed to deep= left and scored when Woodcock was safe on error. Draper then homered to deep right tallying 'Woodcock ahead of him. In the seventh, Colts added three counters. McEwan singled, advanced: to third on Neilans' single, and scored on a passed ball. "Bud" Schoenhals then, came up and pounded one to the willow tree across the track to right— probably the longest hit' of the season—tallying Neilans ahead of him. In the eight, Draper hit sharply to left, but when the fielder let the ball through him, Draper made the circuit. It was scored as a double and an error. Bob Draper had a perfect day at bat with a homer, a double, single and a walk, while Bert White and Clarence Neilans each had two in four, Lucan's best hit, a triple, was knocked out by Chown in the seventh with no one on. Lanking, Sovereign and Rev- ington also hit safely. The baseball series the dist- rict baseball fans have been waiting for is here! The league -leading trophy - bound Clinton Colts play, at Hensall tonight (Thursday) and right back here again tomorrow night (Friday) in two matches that may decide the Huron - Perth Baseball League title. The game here starts at 6.15 p.m. sharp in order to finish before dark. Colts today were three games up on Hensall, but after to- night's match, ,they could be only two up. Hensall then would have a chance of making it dangerously close for the cup. The two local teams --Colts and RCAF—tangle here Mon- day evening in a game that certainly is important to both crews. STONE SCHOOL WINS Superior in every respect. Stone School trounced Wroxeter Rock- ets, 30-7, to capture the first game of their WOAA "C" Softball group finals. Nine home runs fea- tured the game, Edgar and Proct- or bagging three each. Stone School rallied in the 3rd with 12 runs, while Higgins struck out 11.
