For two games that saw CZ starters for both sides in both contests, the matchups between the Southern California Hornets and Monroeville Maulers couldn’t have been any different. The Maulers claimed a 3-1 win in a pitchers’ duel in the opener, while the Hornets (7-7) won a slugfest, 10-9, on a walk-off hit in the ninth inning.
Being demoted from first to sixth in the lineup did good things for Fred Tenney, as he batted .750 (6-for-8). Dick Padden had the walk-off single in the victory. The Hornets should have pitched around the Maulers’ Sam Crawford, who went 7-for-9 (.778) with six RBI.
