Blacksburg walloped.
Gaffney administered an over
whelming defeat to the Blacksburg
aggregation of baseball players in
Blacksburg on Wednesday afternoon
when in a game of six and a half
innings Gaffney piled up twenty-five
runs, while one lone tally graced
Blacksburg’s side of the score sheet.
The game was called at the close of
Blacksburg's half of the sixth inning
on account of the Gaffney players be
ing exhausted from the numerous
trips around the base. Seven of the
Gaffney players made two runs each
in the last inning of play. Floyd
started in the box for Blacksburg but
was accorded rotten support and re
tired in favor of Belue who fared
no better. Wood for Gaffney was
steady at all times and held the
Blacksburg batters at his mercy.
Hamrick’s terrific batting was a
feature. The enthusiasm so notice
able on a recent occasion when Gaff
ney was defeated by a score of five
to 0 wag conspicuous by its absence.
Had nine innings been played it is
impossible to estimate the number
of runs that might have been made.
