Show St. George Takes Cedar City In Close Battle Pushing a run over in the last I half of the ninth Inning the St. George baseball team took the measure of the newly organized Cedar City team by a score of 10 to 9 last night. The game was played under the lights in St. George and was a tough battle throughout. Cedar scored single runs in each of the first and second innings, in-nings, while holding the Dixie team scoreless. In the third St. George made it 2 to 1 with a single sin-gle score, and then in the fourth the Cedar defense weakened and St. George scored four runs to take a 5 to 2 lead. Cedar tied it up with three runs In the fifth, but St. George got three in the sixth to take an 8 to 5 lead. Four more runs were added to the Cedar total In the seventh inning, but St. George tied the score at 9 to 9 with a run in the eighth and then won the game with a single in the final Inning. Walter Forrester pitched the full game for Cedar, doing an excellent Job, but getting himself him-self into frequent holes with walks and hit batters. He walk-ed walk-ed seven and hit five batters, but struck out twelve of the St. George players, and allowed only seven hits. Cedar collected nine hits, two each by Woodbury, Cloward and Rollo, and one each by Garrett, Adams and Forrester. Nine Cedar men were strike-out victims, and seven men got on base by walks. Three of the Cedar hits were for extra bases, a triple by Garrett and twpbaggers by Rollo and Forrester. |
