and hitting two Sumter batters. Sum
ter’s two runs came as s result of a
bad throw by Wilson and a walk with

Junior Southall; on the hill for
Sumter, pitched a good game al
though nicked for ten hits. He was
s pow^ at the pUte, getting a double,
single and two walks for perfect bat
ting.
The game was in doubt right up to
the last of the ninth inning and was
by the Sumter defense. Scott, first
to step to the plfite, drove out a long
smash between center and right. It
fell safe and Scott raced to second

baseman of the invaders was oft the

Scott took a long lead off tllrd, Clo-
menta, Sumter cidcher, made a.guicA
throw to Morris. The throw was bad
and the ball got past Morris and roll-
ad into left field as Scott came in
with the winning run.
The game was the beat on the horn#

good baseball and some bad, but on
