In a close game the Marshallton Mad Hatters got by the Chester Springs

scoring 3 runs on 2 hits.  Ken Griffey kicked off the action when he clubbed
a solo home run.  Marty Perez came next and he drew a walk.  Ron Cey then
drew a walk.  Two outs later Manny Sarmiento came to the plate and bounced
one in the dirt for a wild pitch.  Vic Correll stepped into the box and drew
a walk.  Roger Metzger kept the rally going and stroked a base-hit.  Gary
Roenicke was next to bat, but he was a strikeout victim.  Chester Springs had
a chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short.  
 
The winning pitcher was Adrian Devine(3-0) who allowed no runs in 1 and 1/3
innings. Rawly Eastwick was credited with his 16th save.  Dale Murray(0-3)

Bill Robinson had 4 hits and 5 RBI at The Nest as the Devault Dynamiters
embarrassed the Honey Brook Beekeepers 18-4.
 
Robinson was a seemingly constant irritant to the hometown fans as he provided
much of the offense for the visitors.  He laced a base-hit which brought home
a run in the 1st inning, tripled bringing in two baserunners in the 4th
inning, doubled resulting in a run in the 5th inning and stroked a single in
the 7th inning.  Devault bats were very productive in the 1st inning which
saw them score 4 runs on 4 hits, the 2nd inning with 4 runs on 4 hits and the
8th inning when they had 4 runs on 4 hits.  For the game Devault out-hit
Honey Brook 21-6.  
 
The victory was credited to Woodie Fryman(4-6) who went 7 and 1/3 innings,
allowing 4 runs. Ray Burris(4-9) ended up with the loss.  He gave up 4 hits
and no walks in 1/3 of an inning.  
 
'I had good swings today,' Robinson said, 'Everything felt right'.

Willie Montanez had 4 hits and 5 RBI and Frank Lacorte was able to finish what
he started and was credited with a complete game as the Glenmoore Stableboys
clobbered the outmatched Guthriesville Golddiggers, 14-2.
 
Montanez helped send the fans home happy.  He stroked a one-base hit which was
good for two runs in the 1st inning, delivered a single in the 4th inning,
ripped a base-hit bringing in a run in the 6th inning and laced a single
scoring two baserunners in the 7th inning.  Glenmoore provided plenty of
action in the 4th inning which saw them plate 4 runs on 6 hits and the 7th
inning with 5 runs on 7 hits.  Glenmoore finished with 23 hits in the
victory.  
 
Lacorte(3-5), allowing 2 runs for the game, picked up the victory. Jim
Kaat(3-9) suffered the loss.  He was not very effective, surrendering 8 runs
in 5 and 2/3 innings.
