Wrens Defeated at Winamac In the Fatal Eighth Inning.

The Wrens were defeated at Winamac Sunday in a game that looked to be their own until the Winamacians started a batting rally in their half of the eighth and with two doubles, a single, an error by Gilsinger at third and one or two errors of judgment, and scored 4 runs, making their total C to the Wrens 3. The Wrens made three in their half of the first inning, McLain made a hit after Kevin had struck out, Wilcox was safe on an error, Engle hit to safe territory and all three scored when Gilsinger hit for three bases. That was all the scoring they ever did, and although there were several other hits, they were never bunched. Winamac made two in their first inning. After one hand was down, Gileinger, Kepner and Kevin made a total of four errors, allowing two runs and not a hit. Swartzell pitched for Rensselaer and only allowed four hits. Three of these were doubles and three came in the fatal eighth. He struck out 8 men. After the first, there was no scoring on either side until the eighth, when the Wrens went wrong and the boys from the banks of the Tippecanoe went rollicking about the bases in a very painful fashion, shattering Rensselaer’s hopes and bringing joy to the Winamac rooters who hollered themselves hoarse at their victory.
