Commodores Lose To Anderson St Mary's In Overtime Struggle

Decatur’s Commodores suffered their sixth defeat of the season Saturday night, dropping a heartbreaking 77-73 decision to St. Mary’s of Anderson after an overtime battle at the Decatur gym. i The Commodores, playing without Paul Gross, center, out with illness, and Jim Ormlor, suffering an ankle injury, roared back from a seven-point deficit hbout midway through die final period to knot the count at 68-68 and force the game into an extra session. With 35 seconds of the overtime gone, Tim Broderick hit from near the corner and added a free throw when fouled on the shot, and the Commodores couldn’t catch the Gaels. Decatur’s points in the extra session were oh a field goal and two free throws by Don Baker. and a foul toss by Glen Wilder. The battle was a see-Saw affair. The Commodores, paced by Baker’s 12 points, dominated most of the first quarter, leading at 18-8 at one point, but Anderson pulled within four points at 20-16 at the end of the period. The second period was nip and tuck, although Decatur led most of the way until Chris Doerr gave Anderson a 37-36 lead with 1:10 to go. Tom Gross knotted the count with a free throw, and Ronnie Leaf and Phil Lose traded twopointers for a 39-39 tie at the half. The score was tied at 41-41 and 53-53 during the third quarter, which Anderson led most of the time, the Gaels taking a 55-53 margin into the final eight minutes on Tom Mitchaei's field goal in the closing seconds. Anderson held a 64-57 lead mid-, way in the final stanza, and led again by six at 68-62 with 2:45 to play. But Baker hit from the field. Wilder also hit a two-point-er and Jim Heiman knotted the score at 68-68 with 1:10 to play. Neither team could score in the remaining minute, forcing the overtime. Baker, the county’s top scorer, poured in 32 points for game hon-
