Devault Dynamiters, running on all cylinders, ripped the Marshallton Mad
Hatters by a large 17-3 margin.
 
Evans was unconscious all evening.  The Marshallton fans hated to see him
approaching the batter's box as he just kept delivering base hits! He banged
out a single in the 2nd inning, cracked a solo homerun in the 4th inning,
lofted a three-run 'big-fly' in the 6th inning and stroked a base-hit which
plated a run in the 7th inning.  Devault bats were very productive in the 4th
inning which saw them plate 7 runs on 7 hits and the 7th inning when they had
4 runs on 5 hits.  Marshallton was out-hit by Devault, 27-10.  
 
The winning pitcher was Jackie Brown(3-5) who allowed 2 runs in 7 and 1/3
innings. The losing pitcher was Charlie Williams(1-5).  He served up 4 gopher
balls in 3 and 2/3 innings.
