Show La Yerkin Smashes Out 11-5 Victory Monday More Strength In The Pinches Gives Victory To La Yerkin Cashing in on 11 hits and 5 errors by the St. George ball team, the La Verkin nine smashed smash-ed out a 11-5 victory over the local team at the St. George ball park on Monday, July 24. Costly errors on the park of the St. George boys helped to run the score up, but you still can't get away from the fact that the La Verkin boys came through when they needed the runs. No strike outs were registered by Max Woodbury, but he managed to keep the hits scattered and received sufficient support to win the game. Ed Lund opened for St. George but George Whipple took over the mound in the 4th. Whipple had 6 strike outs to his credit. The only home run of the game and the first for the La-Verkin La-Verkin team this year was made by Max Woodbury. Paul Wilson and R. Wilson got two 3-base hits, D. Wilson made one 3-base hit and W. Wilson hit a two bagger. Lee Brooks hit three times for St. George but wasn't able to score. Lynn Empey hit twice and scored twice, Price hit once and scored once, Judd hit twice and scored one and Samson Sam-son hit one and scored 1. Eight errors were chalked up against St. George and 5 for La Verkin. One encouraging feature for Coach Reed Blake's boys is that they did get some longer hits. (Continued on page eight) July 24th Ball Games (Continued from first page) The main trouble seems to lie in the fact that the boys are not consistent in their practicing with one group coming out one night and a different group the next.
