Show BINGHAM NINE WINS LEGION REGIONAL TITLE Traditional rivals, Bingham and Midvale, closed one of the most spirited seasons in Salt Lake county American Legion junior baseball, with George Dimas' Bingham nine edging out an 8-6 win in a 14-inning thriller played on the Magna diamond. I The win gave the Bingham post the opportunity to meet the Salt Lake City district winner in a two out of three play-off series. Friday's contest was the rubber rub-ber game between the two teams, each having won one. After nine innings of play the two teams remained in a 4-4 deadlock. The marathon tilt necessitated ne-cessitated turning on the lights in the Magna park to finish the afternoon contest. Lefty Marion Cowdell went all the way for the winners, as did losing chucker, Bill Shields. Cowdell won his own ball game in the 14th by banging out a double to score Clair Rager. Cowdell then came home on an error for the eighth run. In the two out of three play- . off series between the Salt Lake City district winner, Sugar I1 House-Petty, and Bingham posts, the Binghamites lost the first game Tuesday to the Sugar House post 17-5. The second ; game of the series between the , two teams was played at Bing- ; ham last night (Thursday). A third game if needed, will be played Saturday at Magna be- tween the two clubs. Outcome of the series will clinch berths 1 in the state American Legion 1 junior baseball tournament. O |
