Pete Falcone took a no-hitter into the 6th inning as the Honey Brook
Beekeepers outscored the Marshallton Mad Hatters 3-0.
 
Falcone(7-13) was simply too much for the Marshallton batters.  He allowed
only 4 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings.  The left-handed Falcone lost his chance
for a no-hitter when Ron Hodges singled with nobody out in the 6th inning.
The Marshallton offense proved no trouble in the 9th.  
 
Steve Renko(10-9) was the loser.

Homeruns- J.Bench(16th)
 
Johnny Bench touched them all and had 3 RBI as the Glenmoore Stableboys
rallied impressively to win in dramatic style over Kimberton Firefighters, 9-6.
 
Glenmoore won the game with a rally in the 9th inning when they tallied 6 runs
on 4 hits.  The big moment was provided by Bench who deflated the crowd as he
clubbed a three-run home run.  Glenmoore and Kimberton each finished the
afternoon with 13 hits.  
 
Bo McLaughlin(3-5) allowed 1 run in 3 and 1/3 innings, and picked up the
victory. Skip Lockwood(4-5) took the loss in relief.  After the game, it took
a long while before Rich Pawlak emerged from his office.  In a subdued tone
he answered only a couple of questions.  He concluded with, 'Fellows, sorry
I'm not in a very talkative mood this afternoon, as I think you'll
understand.  I'm sure you'll find the banter a lot more light-hearted over in
the Glenmoore locker room.'

out-hit by Eagle 11-8.

Sutton(15-8) was tagged with the loss.  He served up 3 homeruns in his 7 and
2/3 innings.  
 
'I always am most impressed when a pitcher finds a way to win even without his
best stuff,' John Carney said after the game.  'Halicki did not have command
of his pitches most of the afternoon, but he proved he really knew how to
pitch!'

Jerry Royster had 2 base hits and Tom Seaver racked up an impressive total of
10 strikeouts as the Chester Springs team beat the Lionville club 2-1.
 
Seaver(15-8) was virtually untouchable.  He didn't allow much, just 5 hits and
2 walks in 9 innings.  Chester Springs had just 6 hits for the afternoon.
 
Burt Hooton(16-7) was hit with the loss.  He was the victim of a defensive
lapse and did not allow an earned run in the game.  
 
Jim Ghoulach was asked about the performance of Seaver, 'He had his good stuff
out there this afternoon.  The fans really get into it when the strikeouts
start mounting up - and that seems to give him even more adrenalin.'
