BOWIE
GOLD ENDS ITS 5-YEAR 200+ GAME LOSING
STREAK WITH A LUCKY 11-7 SCORE WIN OVER GREENBELT.
Gold and
Greenbelt played a make-up double header that was postponed on May 27th.
Greenbelt won the first game with ease 14-4; but then a funny thing happened
in the second game. Here's comments submitted by Gold's coach Vail Clemence
in his scoring report on today's games:
" After 200+
losses, Bowie Gold won a game. Gold jumped out to a 7 to 1 lead through
the 4th inning, scored three more in the 5th making it 10 to 1 but Greenbelt
came roaring back in the 6th with 5 in the top of the inning. Gold scored
1 in the bottom of the 6th and held on in the 7th, giving up only 1
run to finish with an 11 to 7 win. Timely hitting and great defense
by the whole Gold team made the difference."
And in
a show of good sportsmanship Greenbelt's Irv Salzberg noted in his scoring
report:
"Congratulations
Bowie Gold. Gold played an outstanding second game of the May 27 rained
out makeup double header today and earned a well deserved win.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL
THE MEMBERS OF THE BOWIE GOLD TEAM WHO NEVER GAVE UP THROUGH THIS WHOLE
ORDEAL.
