The victory snapped a threegame losing streak for the Jackets, and was the third loss in • row for the Bears. It was a nip and tuck affair all the way, with the Yellow Jackets enjoying the longest lead of the contest at eight points during the third quarter.

Bob Bank’s fielder gave the Jackets a 21-19 margin and Decatur held a scant 22-21 lead at the main intermission.
