Show B.DAA FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp BINGHAM DOWNS FLYERS; PLAY MILLMEN TONIGHT! The local BDAA baseball club sent out a warning to the rest of the nines in the, semi-pro loop Tuesday night, as it downed the high-flying Provo club 7 to 4. Neil Astle, slender right hand-er, hand-er, went the full route for the locals, garnering his second win in as many starts. Astle was never nev-er in serious trouble as he held the Provo powerhouse to 3 hits, struck out 6 men and allowed only one earned run. Two big innings gave Astle all the margin he needed, with Keith Bloom driving in the first two runs on a sharp line single over second, and shortstop, Don Geiss blasting a home run with two men on in the big fourth stanza. Geiss' drive went deep over left center field, around the 450 ft. mark. The locals scored twice again in the fifth to throw the Flyers into a tie with Magna. Play Co-leaden Tonight Bingham will host the Magna nine tonight at Copperton, with Stuckenschneider probably slated slat-ed for the opening mound chore. Vic lost a tough 3 to 2 decision to American Fork last week, and will be seeking his second win. At present, Magna is tied with Provo for top spot, and will probably pro-bably start Sanders in tonight's skirmish. Sanders blanked American Am-erican Fork with a no-hit performance per-formance in his last starting role, so tonight's game should figure out as a hurlers duel. Game time vill be 8:15 p.m. Bandwagon Is Rolling I The BDAA Baseball Bandwagon Band-wagon is starting to roll!
