REDBIRDS FALL PREY TO HAWKS' ROOKIE
A rookie, who has only been in the IPA for about a month, played havoc with the formidable Denton City Redbirds (93-60), beating them 6-4... 23-year-old Eddy Salem (4-0/2.50) knocked them out of a first-place tie with the Rolling Hills Reds (94-59) and just might have cost them the pennant... in just his fifth start of the season, Salem shut down the mighty Redbirds on two runs and seven hits in eight innings... Salem struck out eight and walked just two batters... he gave the Hawks a 6-2 lead heading into the ninth and North Hills hung on to win.
