Nine A 9-2 Victory Over Locals Two big innings, the fourth and sixth, in which they scored eight runs gave the Bluffton high school Tigers a 9—2 victory over the Decatur high school Yellow darkest in the final ' game of the high .school season, played on the South Ward diamond, Friday afternoon. Outside of those two innings, the game was an interesting and evenly contested affair. Decatur opened the scoring in the third innings, when an error and two tingles netted the Yellow Jackets their only run . Thomas reached first on an >-t ror by Knoble. Bleeke singled, Thomas taking third. Bleeke stole second and .Moser scored the two runners with a long single to right. Things looked bright for the locals in the first inning, when Strickler walked and Bebout sent a crashing two-baggeY to center field Heller tightened up then and pitched himself out of a nasty hole, striking out the next three batters up. The Yellow Jackets got three men on base in the sixth inning on two singles and a base on halls, but each of them was caught off the bag. Bob Strickler breezed through the fl. st three innings In fine style and not a runner reached third hase. The Tigers solved his delivery in the fourth inning, however, and scored three runs on two Mnglea, a double and an error. Strickler tightened up in the fifth inning and held the visitors to one run. which was due to an error in the field. The sixth inning was the hig one for the Tigers. The first two men up reached first base on errors. Clark, the next man up. got in front of one of Strickler's curve balls, filling the bags. Heller waited for a walk, forcing in a run Strickler settled down and struck out the next two batters Knoble and Redding. an*l things
