WEB GEMS- Bot 5th: Ed Delahanty robbed Chief Bender of an extra base hit.

Third baseman Mel Ott rocketed 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI as the Limerick
Hurlers outscored the North Eaton Posy DagGumits 11 to 9.

Ott really 'lit it up' for Limerick.  He cracked a solo homerun in the 2nd
inning, doubled in the 4th inning and belted a three-run homer (his 13th of
the season) in the 5th inning.  North Eaton had a chance to come back in the
9th but they came up short. 

The victory was credited to Chief Bender(5-5) who went 6 innings, allowing 6
runs. Wilbur Cooper recorded the save, his 2nd.  Eddie Plank(10-3) was the
loser.  He served up 4 homeruns in his 6 innings. 

'Some losses are harder to take than others' North Eaton's manager lamented
after the game.  'This was one of them.'
