Pace Dominates Westerners
In the first game of a twinbill at Westerner Field in Waleska, big 6'6" Nick Pace of Marston was outstanding in the 7-1 triumph over the Westerners. Pace limited them to just four hits, fanned five and walked three for his first win of the season. Chris Deangelo pounded a three-run home run in the first inning and the Nine was off and running and never looked back. Johnny Berthold slammed his second of the season for Marston in the fourth frame.
Joel Harrell was tagged with the loss, allowing six runs in five innings.

Nine Sweep Twinbill from Westerners
The Marston Nine outslugged Waleska 9-6 to sweep a pair of games at Westerner Field to remain unbeaten this season. Marston whacked out 15 hits off three Westerner pitchers and were led by Ronnie Horn with 3 hits and 2 runs scored and Lenny Torricelli with a pair of hits, including a 2-run homer. Sam Dixon, Johnny Berthold, Keith Green and Tommy Reinhold all had two hits each for the Nine. Casey Ledbetter labored, but picked up the win. He gave up 10 hits and 6 runs in 8+ innings. Kenny Bagby got the final out of the game to save it for Ledbetter.
Waleska suffered from poor pitching. The loss went to Marv Chancellor, who permitted 5 runs and 9 hits in 6+ innings.
Big Hoss Burkhalter, Ernie Fletcher and Ken Sanders provided the longball for Waleska, who have loss three in a row now.

'Jacks Jack 4 HR to Beat Sunbirds
Forest City crushed Belair Beach 10-5 with a 16-hit rampage that included 4 home runs. Left fielder Chuck Hill went 3-3 with 2 homers and 4 RBIs, right fielder Benny Davis chipped in 4 hits, including a home run and scored 3 times, while second baseman Jesse Wolf added a solo shot. Southpaw Brian Charles notched the win. He allowed the Sunbirds 8 hits and only 3 earned runs. Dirk Garrett took the loss, lasting only 4 innings and giving up 4 runs and 7 hits.
The Lumberjacks now hold the IPA record for most homers by one team.

Diamonds Set Records in Win over Rattlers
Claxton buried Sugar Valley under a 6-homer barrage 14-5 at Farmers Memorial Park this afternoon. The Diamonds walloped 19 hits in all and pulled away in the last four frames. Lanky 6'7" Chris Gallagher came to the rescue of starter Pat Castellani, who had a rough time, giving up 6 runs and 10 hits in just 5 innings. Gallagher came on and protected a 10-6 lead with 4 scoreless innings. Castellani got credit for the win and Gallagher picked up a save. Phil Howard sustained the loss for the Rattlers, leaving after 5 innings. Bobby Ritter and Donnie McCoy each slapped out 4 hits and Karl Olsen had 3 to lead the Claxton hit parade. Ritter, Vern Jennings, Dixie Baker, Winky Rush, McCoy and Pete Robinson all delivered home runs.
The Diamonds now hold the ISA record for most homers, most hits and most runs in a game.
