Ruthlandian Union - South Division

Redhawks Even Marston Series 9-3
Shoddy defense played a part in the Far Mountain 9-3 rout of the Marston Nine. The Redhawks picked up six unearned runs on three errors and evened the series at one game apiece between the top two ballclubs in the RU South. On the mound southpaw Herm Bahr (6-4 3.18) went the distance, struck out 11 batters and limited the Nine to just four hits. He gave up three runs in the second inning, but no more. A six-run third put the Lumberjacks over the top and pretty much decided the game. Second baseman Jesse Wolf (.311) led Forest City. He hit his 15th home run, had three hits, scored twice and drove home three runs, Third baseman Jesse Pearson (.306) also chipped in two RBIs. Ed Vogler (3-3 3.75) had an off day and took the loss, giving up seven runs in two-plus frames, but only one was earned. He fanned five and walked three before calling it a day. First baseman Chuck Barrett (.282) hit a two-run homer for the Nine.
