' The L. & L. team of Rockford, which has proven a stumbling mock for the Sox during the past two seasons, opposed our boys. As on their former meetings the two teams were very evenly matched, but this time our boys came out of the melee holding the big end of the score and thus, for the first time in three seasons, the Rockford lads were forced to leave McHenry with a sting of de­ feat. The score was 4 to 1. Sahlberg was on the mound for the Sox and held the Rockford sluggers to four hits, one of which was a double. While he was performing this feat his mates pounded Clark off the slab in the sixth inning, sewing up the game right there and then with three hits and two rims. Miller, who succeeded Clark in the seventh, held the local outfit without a hit or run. The game by innings was as fol­ lows: First inning: Sahlberg struck out Warner Behind the Bat V/H05 COIN 'To 8tJ Trt'rtfcxt Victtrt ?1 Fanned! WEST MdBNRY the first three men Who faced him. No hits, no runs. McHenry: Bending out, Nordquist to Walsh. Comiskey was given life at first when Nordquist fumbled his fast grotinder. Cemiskey stole second and went all the way home when John­ son made a bad peg to first after cleanly fielding Brailsford's grounder down the .third base line. "Brailsford went all the way to second on the error. Seablom shot a hot one down to Nordquist, who forced Brailsford at third. Ahlstrom skied to Belding in left. No hits, one run. Second inning: Randall fanned. Ahlstrom fielded Clark's roller down past first, while Henson got to the bag just in time to take the throw for the out. Walsh walked. Higgins flew out to Bending in left. No hit§, no runs. McHenry: Beal out, Johnson to Walsh. Henaon skied to Nordquist. Warner out, Clark to Walsh. No hits, no runs. Third inning: Belding singled to left and was forced at second when Miller hit to Comiskey. Nordquist skied to Beal, while Seablom took care of Johnson's fly. No hits, no runs. McHenry: Sahlberg went out on a fly to McGraw. Bending doubled to center and took third on Comiskey's sacrifice, Nordquist to Walsh. Brails- ford shot a single between third and short, on- which Bending rode home. Seablom out, Nordquist to Walsh. Two hits, one run. Fourth inning: McGraw almost knocked Beal down with a hard line drive for the first out Randall was also killed by Beal and Clark went out on a fast roller to Ahlstrom at first. No hits, no runs. ^ McHenry: Ahlstrom walked. He was almost run to death between first and second when Beal fell down on the hit and run signal. Beal fanned. Clark just insisted upon getting our first sacker, so tried to catch him off the bag. Nordquist, who was to have taken the throw, was off the job and as a result Ahlstrom took third. With two narrow escapes to his credit; Ahlstrom was finally nailed at the plate when he attempted to score on Henson's roller down the third base line. Warner went out via McGraw to Walsh. No hits, no runs. Fifth inning: Brailsford tore in and brought down Walsh's fly. Bend­ ing took care of Higgins and Belding was given life at first on Comiskey's error. Miller skied to Brailsford. No hits, no runs. McHenry: Sahlberg skied to Walsh. Bending out, McGraw to Walsh. Com­ iskey out, Johnson to Walsh, Walsh getting all three put-outs Jn this inning. No hits, no runs. Sixth inning: Nordquist doubled over the left field fence. Johnson and McGraw fanned, while Comiskey and Ahlstrom killed Randall. One hit, no runs. McHenry: Brailsford flew out to Nordquist. Seablom was safe on Nordquist's error. Brailsford, run­ ning for Seablom, stole second, but a moment later was caught off the bag. With two dead and no one on, Ahl­ strom started the proceedings that sent Clark to the tall and uncut. Ahl­ strom singled past third and went to third on Beal's two base hit to left. Henson lifted a single just out of reach of Nordquist and the two men on the paths scampered homt. "fhrfeCWts, two runs, Seventh inning: Clark was retired by Ahlstrom unassisted. Henson and Ahlstrom took care of Walsh. Hig­ gins singled over the third base bag. Henson lost Belding's grounder. At this juncture of the proceedings the side was retired on one of the most freak­ ish plays ever witnessed or any dia­ mond. Sahlberg was given the sig­ nal to play for Higgins at second and his throw to the keystone sack found the base unguarded. Beal went after the pill like a shot and by a perfect throw he got his man at third by six feet or more. One hit, no runs. McHenry: Sahlberg slammed a single between first and second. At this stage Miller relieved Clark and struck out both Bending and Com­ iskey, while Brailsford skied to Walsh. One hit, no runs. Eighth inning: Belding out, Com­ iskey to Ahlstrom. Nordquist skied to Beal. Johnson walked. McGraw skied to Seablom. No hits, no runs. McHenry: Seablom walked. Brails­ ford, running for him, ..stole second. Ahlstrom was killed by Johnson and Walsh. Beal fanned and Henson skied to Belding. No hits, no runs. Ninth inning: Randall singled to center, but was forcedi at second when Clark hit to Beal. Beal tried for a double play, but- the runner inter­ fered with the throw arid the ball went wide of its margin, with the result that Clark went all the way to second. Walsh hit to Beal. Beal, in his anxi­ ety to get his man, made a bad peg to first, on which Clark scored and Walsh took second. Higgins skied to Bend­ ing, while Henson and Ahlstrom killed Belding. One hit, one run.
