inning.  Lionville ended up with 12 hits for the game while Glenmoore had 9.
 
Carlton(17-4) picked up the victory, allowing 3 runs in 8 innings. John
Montefusco(13-9) was given the loss.  Lionville knocked him around a bit, as
he gave up 7 runs in 4 and 1/3 innings.  
 
Carlton didn't realize how many strikeouts he was racking up.  When told he
had 10 he was obviously surprised, 'No kidding? Man, I knew that I had a
decent total, but I didn't think I had K'd that many.  Say, that's pretty
good, isn't it?'
