header of scores of 7-3 and 8-1.
In the first game, Brad Dutot
ran his pitching record to five

batters, walking three and
allowing only four hits. The
Colts grabbed a 1,0 lead in the
first inning when lead-off bat-
ter, Larry Pickett, doubled and
scored on Butch Fleet's single.
The Colts took a 4.0 lead in the
third inning as Butch Fleet
reached first on an error. Stew
'Mustard then hit his second of
the season homer over the
right-centre field fence. No
sooner had Stew hit a homer,
then the next batter, Hans Lep-
pington, hit the very next pitch
for his homer of the season.
Arva scored a run in the bot-
tom of the third, but the Colts
scored three more runs in the
top of the fourth inning to put
the game away. Greg Burns
opened the inning with a
double, Butch Fleet singled
Burns home. Consecutive
singles by Hans Leppington
and Don Bartliff scored the
final two runs for the Colts.
Hans Leppington led the
Colts hitting attack with a
homer and two singles. Butch
Fleet, Don Bartliff, and Greg
Burns had two hits each, while
single hits were gathered by
Larry Pickett and Stew
Mustard.

ters, walked one and allowed
only two hits.
The Colts struck for two runs
in the second inning. Hans Lep-
pington led off with a walk,
and Don Bartliff lofted a high
fly to right which barely
cleared the right field fence.
The homer was Don's second of
the season. Arva's Ken
Needliaila hit a homer in the
second to narrow the score, to.2,
1. The Colts got that run back
'in the fourth iining as Hans
