Slider, down and in...
Blade manages to hit a shallow fly
Duffy charging hard... dives...
Great diving catch by Duffy!
He slid several feet after
making that stab
One out
Due up next is A. J. Tucker

Routine grounder to short
Wagner scoops it up
Over to first for the out
That's two away
Wagner comes over from his shortstop
position to say a few words to Young
Persimmon Pflaggstettler
will be next up...

There's a towering fly ball
hit by Pflaggstettler
Burkett sprints over, and makes the catch
That's out number three
A perfect inning for Young here
in the top of the 1st

Drilled on the ground to first
Potpie to Babson covering first
Score It: 3-1
One up, one down for Turn of Century

Keeler hits one on the ground
to the left side
Wee Willie, who moves well,
is motoring to first
Nights wings it quickly to Potpie...
OUT by a step
Two down
Babson retires two in a row

It's a duck snort headed
towards the outfield
Nights is after it...
Running hard...
He snares it for the out
Excellent range shown on that play!
Brian Babson holds the Centurions
scoreless in the first

Potpie swings and misses
STRIKE THREE!
Young strikes out Jeeberoni Potpie
One down for FOFC
Harry Hays is in the on-deck circle
ready to make his way to
the plate for FOFC

There's a drive to left by Hays
Burkett picks the ball up on one bounce
Fires it to second
Hays turns back and settles for a single
Terrific play by Burkett

Palmer hits a blooper just
beyond the infield
It looks like that one will drop
Honus Wagner dives toward
the outfield grass
AND SNAGS THE BALL BEFORE
IT HITS THE GROUND
Here's the ump coming out
To brush the plate clean
There's two away

Grounded towards the sack
Young takes the flip from Beckley
Score It: 3-1
That's it for FOFC here
in the top of the 2nd
FOFC and Turn of Century are all tied up
FOFC is 7 and 3 in their last ten games
They want a win tonight

And Lajoie will sit down...
strike three called
One up, one down

Wagner starts... but lays
off the pitch upstairs
Ball four, Babson walks him

Wagner studies Babson intently...
Now he's walking away from the base
Wagner is held closely by Babson

Smashed to short
Taken by Nights
Over to second for one
On to first
Not in time!
Score It: 6-4
The runner on first, Wagner, is out
That's the second out of the inning

It's a rainbow shot toward center
Tucker reaches up
Makes the catch!
Didn't have to move an inch
That wraps up the inning
for Turn of Century
Time to check out the rest of the scores

Sinking fastball...
Nights swings...
Raps a hard ground ball
right at Wagner...
He snares it easily, throws to first...
Out by a step
FOFC with one away
Young steps off the mound as
he waits for Brian Babson to
come to the plate

Babson cuts on a curve that
misses in the dirt
That ball is trapped nicely by Bresnahan
Babson was badly fooled by Young's
big breaking curve
STRIKE THREE!
Brian was a little overanxious

Breaking ball...
It darts down and out
as Blade swings way over it
He was fooled completely
Bresnahan loses it momentarily,
but now finds the handle and tags
Barrett as he was heading for the dugout
Young sets them down in order
Here in the top of the 3rd

Hard slider, up in the eyes...
Roger Bresnahan swings at it...
He hits a long drive
Going back, back, back...
GONE! A solo home run

Hot line drive to short

He makes a nice play on it
Score It: 6
One gone for Turn of Century

Palmer comes up with it
Over to first
In time!
Score It: 5-3
