That Helper would have difficulty scoring runs against Rocky Lambourne was apparent right from the start. Lambourne struck out the first five batters he faced (enroute to 10 Ks for the night), fooling several into swinging as if they had not seen a sharp- breaking curve all season. That Cottonwood would be holding onto a tenuous lead until the final out, however, was the factor which made the 1 outcome unrepresentative of the type of game that was played Cottonwood hit the ball hard, at times very hard But with few exceptions, the shots went right at someone, going into the scorebook as just another out.

Lambourne was breezing along with two outs in the seventh and a one-hi- t shutout when Thomas Murray, who had the only Helper hit on an infield single in the fifth, lined a double down the right field line to drive in a teammate who had walked With the tying run on second, however, Lambourne reached back and struck out the opposing pitcher, Tom Hribar, to put the game away. While Cottonwood consistently hit the ball hard, the most damaging blow to Helper was a dying looper to short right field. A scoreless deadlock was snapped in the fourth when, with tw'o out and the bases loadTarbox looped a ed, short fly to right. The Earlier in the fourth, Cottonwood loaded the bases when Trutzel walked, Schaap looped a single to right and Lewis beat out a deep bunt that rolled past the charging first baseman. But Kim Facer bounced back to the pitcher. Double play, home to first. In the first inning, a line drive off the bat of Moore was turned into another double play. In the third, Nash rifled a shot right at the third baseman, whose catch ended the inning with Cottonwood runners stranded on second and third. He later hit a frozen rope to center for another out.
