Evergreen Wins Two Games From Niceville by John Law
Robinson: Evergreen handed Niceville two defeats last week to make its record
11 wins and one loss. The scores were 7 to 2 and 9 to 1.
In the first inning, the Greenies jumped on Bridges,
Niceville pitcher, for six hits and five runs. But here the Greenies were
stopped. They were held to six hits and two runs for the remaining eight
innings. Hart held the visitors to 10 hits and two runs.
Page led the locals at bat in this game with three hits.
Johnson, Barfield and Hart had two hits each.
In the second game, the locals played the best brand of ball
that they have displayed this season. Clowers, opening pitcher for Niceville,
held the locals in check for three innings before White started a rally.
Bridges relieved him and checked the Greenies attack at this point. Windham
started for Evergreen and was relieved by Hart in the sixth frame.
Johnson led the locals in hitting with a double and two
singles. Bolton, second baseman, and White, catcher, looked good defensively
for Evergreen.
