Show Last Inning Blooper With Two Out Gives Hurricane Nine Win Over Cedar; 10-9 The Cedar City baseball team dropped an exciting and well played game to the St George team Sunday, a bad break in the tenth inning giving the Dixie team the victory. The winning run was scored when the ball, hit to short, took a bad hop and bounded over the fielder's head, turning what looked like the final out, into a safe hit. The Cedar team had tied the score in the ninth inning, and narrowly missed winning the game when Dent Sorenson was called out at home on a close play. Cedar took a 2-run lead in the second inning, when Rollo and Penny scored after hitting safely, and St. George got one run in the same inning when Milne, the first man up, con-nected con-nected for a home run. Ren Tay- lor, Cedar catcher, matched Milne's four-bagger, when he opened the next inning. The game was really won in the third Inning, when the Dixie Dix-ie batters got to Keith Cripps, Cedar pitcher, for six hits and six runs. Cripps had pitched very well in the first two Innings, racking up three strike-outs and allowing only three hits. Ren Taylor took over the pitching duties at this time, and allowed only three more runs, two in the fifth inning on two hits and a couple of errors, and the final run In the tenth as the result of a walk,, an error, and the fluke hit, after two were out. After the big Dixie third inning, in-ning, Cedar got back into the game with three runs in the fifth scored by Taylor, Sorenson and Woodbury, and then added an- other run by Taylor in the seventh, sev-enth, and one by Urie in the eighth and then tied the score on a run by Woodbury in the ninth. |
