The win moved Batawa into saf- er territory as second-place team in the Central League race while the defeat prevented Oshawa from tying the Shoemen for the second slot. Actually, Gordie Muffitt earned his victory for the Batawa Shoe- men, even though he copld have lost it. For five innings he hand- cuffed the homesters, aided by a couple of double-plays in the 2nd and 3rd innings. In the 3rd Gord: Baxter opened with a 'doublé and scored on a single by Tyson but Michael grounded to Solmeés, who tagged Tyson and then Brisebois grounded into a twin-killing. Big Oshawa Rally In the 6th inning, the Oshawa team suddenly started to last out at the first pitch and the move paid off. Eddie Brisebois opened with a single and scored as Dell singled, Hanna also singled and then Bidgood fouled the first pitch but was hit by a pitched ball, to fill the bases. Andy McMullen smacked a triple on the first pitch and then Cook grounded to. . the pitcher for a scratch hit, when no- body covered first. Baxter singlc ed scoring McMullen and there was still nobody out. However, Muffitt steadied up to fan Tyson, force Michael to ground out and Jan) Brisebois to end the big rally. That put Oshawa back on even terms and they went in front in the 8th when McMullen singled. Cook sacrificed him around and Baxter came through with . his fourth-straight safe hit of the game, to put McMullen on 3rd. Michael came through with a time- ly hit, with two out, to score Mc- Mullen, with what could have been the winning run. Shoemen Scored Early i Batawa jumped right on "Lefty" Hill and drove him from the mound early. Spencer walked and Ken- nedy singled. Then Solmes lashed a drive to centre. Cook tried for a running pickup of the drive and it went zooming past, for a homer and three: runs. Watson popped out but both Aquino and Peacock hit smashing singles so Hill was re- moved from the mound. Paul Michael took over and put out the fire smartly, on 'two bat- ters. However, he hadn't warmed up enough and in the second frame, with one out, Spencer singled: Ken- nedy got a lucky single past Dell and then with two out, Watson singled and Aquino drilled one to right, to complete a two-run out= purst and make the score 5-0. From that point on, Michael had Batawa well under control. He He yielded a run in the 5th, on a walk, sacrifice, infield error and outfield fly but-he wasn't hit hard at all until the 8th.

Gordie Muffitt then dropped one in short right which McMullen couldn't quite reach and Peacock came home on the hit. Cook picked up the ball and threw high to first on Wagner's grounder but Cook grounded. to Tyson to end the inning. The three-man rally put Batawa out in front again ahd in the last of the oth, Muffitt retired three Oshawa hitters in order. The Big Hitters Gord. Baxter, with two doubles and two singles in four trips to the plate, plus a nice running catch to rob Muffitt, was the best man for Oshawa. McMullen had two hits and every other member of the team had one safe hit, except pinch-hitter Bathe. Kennedy, with 3-for-5 was best at the plate for Batawa, who, like the Merchants had a total of 13 safe hits. Solmes and Aquino each had two safeties.
