. 1 f Page Eight JOANNA, CLINTON IN TOP SPOTS CENTRAL LEAGUE By DONNY WILDER The Joanna Hornets took tvco games from the Clinton Cavaliers last week and downed the Watts Warriors Tuesday night to move in to a half game lead for first place over the Clinton Cavaliers. The Hornets officially took over the spot light last Saturday night as they roared through the Cavaliers by a nine to two score and held on to their lead by ripping the flounder ing last place Watts Warriors sev en to five last Tuesday night. Clin ton. in the meantime, was over m Riegel Stadium edging past the Ware Shoals crew with a three to two margin. Joanna Wins. Holds On To Lead Joanna's league leading Hornets came from a five to thre« score ill the bottom half of the fifth inning with a three run uprising and then put the game on the proverbial ice" as they rushed in another run In IHe~seventh, inning. George Biershenk was the hero of the night as he came in to re lieve Charlie Cudd on,the mound in the fifth and went on to win the ball game. Biershenk struck out three in putting out the fire which \Cas started off Cudd. The Watts Warriors garnered eleven hits off the two Hornet hurlers while the Joannlans were busy pounding out thirteen hits from the offerings -of Peeler. Roy Marsh had a good night at bat as he belted four safe blows for four times at bat. In rolling up his perfect night at the plate he lashed out a double and three singles. Leo Thomas held the big bat for the Warriors by getting solid wood on a ht>me run and two singles in five trips up. The game played before some 1,- 500 loyal fans was one of a tightly played nature as only one error was committed on the Warriors' part and the Hornets weren't charged with a single mishap. Cavaliers Edge Riegels 3 to 2 The second place Clinton Caval iers won their game last Tuesday night as they came from behind a two run lead held over them by the third place Ware Shoalers in the fourth by pushing across one run to go with the two they had gathered in the third. Although the Riegels are usually a jinx on the Clinton club the Cav aliers hung in the game on heavy batting by Louie Lyles who lashed out two hits in four times at -bat. Lyles was the boy who started the fire works in the big third inning. Roy Whittaker flipped a five- hitter m the face of the Riegels al though he was a little wild at times. Whittaker walked eigfit in taking home his victory. Whittaker also got five men out via the strike out route. Hal Huffstetler was the only man on the Clinton team to have a bad night at the plate, the rest getting a hit a piece, except Lyles who pop ed two good pitches. Clinton had a sum total of nine hits to their cred it. Lyles led off in third with a sin gle and was followed shortly with Aravelo who pounded out a healthy and timely triple. After Lyles scor ed Aravelo was sent home on the power of shortstop Blackstock’s | lline single into the left field area.! Ware Shoal’s big knuckle -ball ar- j list, Jim Voiselle, then tightened! down and held the Clinton team in' check for the remainder of the inn- ! dng. “Choc” Burnette scored the winn-j ing run in the fourth when he drove out a single and then was ushered around the base paths by duplicat ed blows committed by shortstop Lyles and pitcher Whittaker. } The Cavalier's first baseman, Charlie Gaffney was the only Clin-; Ionian to committ a bungle while i the Ware Shoals team played er-, rorlessly. This was Whittaker’s sixth win against one loss. Joanna Games Protested The games played with Joanna [ have been protested by Clinton be- i cause of the suspension of big Jake Daniels. Clinton claims if the big first baseman had been suspended he should stay that way. However the president of the league gave him the nod to go ahead and play. 1 Watts and Ware Shoals also said they were going to protest their . th< big boy p a> < ) against t;am. If they keep on arguing about the suspension, the suspension of thirty days will be up and every thing will be straight no matter how much everyone wants to argue.
