Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 158, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 July 1910 — Wrens, 11; Winamac, 2. [ARTICLE]

Wrens, 11; Winamac, 2.

With a very spirited beginning but a very bad ending, on the part of the visitors, the Wrens were able to get qleven men across the home plate, while the visitors were only able to push two across. J Hassar pitched some ball, allowing only one hit and passing only two. The fielding was also good, and it showed us baseball fans that we do not have to go out of town to see a good game of ball.

Brown, the first man up, fanned, as did tellers, the next man up. The third man, Johnson, was an easy out from Hassar to Swartzell. Stipp, Winamac’s pitcher, dittoed Hassar’s performance and the first Inning was over.

The second inning was an exact duplicate of the first. The third start'd o\it with Elder getting to first on an error. Swartzell then hit the ball a good smash and was safe on first. Morgan flew out to Stipp, Kevin hit the balljL scoring Swatzell, and Jensen struck out.

In the fifth, through errors by Jensen, Morgan and Renner, the visitors

got in two runs. We started in again to make a few more runs in the sixth. Morgan, first up, hit the ball safe and stole second, Kevin, went to first on an error by Stipp, Jensen got.a hit placing Morgan on third. Mac then got to first on an error and Morgan scored. Renner, next up, knocked a grounder to Stipp, who whipped the ball to third, putting Jensen out, and third threw the ball to second, putting Mac out. The ball was then whipped to first, putting Renner to the bad. But the nice part about this play was that little Tommy Kevin came in home when the ball was first thrown to third and the Winamac players did not even try to stop him. Thus the sixth inning ended with the Wrens at the long end of a 3 to 2 score. It is no use to go into detail about the rest of the game, but suffice to say that the visitors scored no more, while the Wrens got five in the seventh and three in the eighth. Thus the store ended, 11 to 2. / Remington next Sunday.
