Eagles Smash
14-2
The Decatur Bulldogs must
wonder what it takes to b e a t
Griffin High.
This pas supposed to be the
year the Bulldogs snapped a los
ing streak that dates back to
1953.
Things didn’t turn out like
they were "supposed” to and it
was just another Griffin-Deca
tur game that Griffin won eas
ily.
Decatur’s troubles started in
the first inning when Griffin pa
raded 14 men to the plate and
nine of them eventually scored.
The count after one inning was
• Griffin 9 and Decatur 0.
The final verdict was Griffin
14 and Decatur 2.
Coach D. T. Smith, who pilot
ed the Eagles to many subre
gion titles and three state cham
pionships, watched the game
from the sidelines.
Coach Smith retired from the
coaching game three years ago.
Coach Smith recalled that Gr
iffin defeated the Bulldogs at
leasfr 24 straight times while he
was coaching. Decatur hasn’t
beat Griffin since he left which
means the Bulldogs have the dis
tinction of losing about 30 strai
ght to Griffin.
The first inning Tuesday re
minded many fans of the Grif
, fin-Southwest DeKalb game se
veral years ago when the Eag
les plated nine runs in the first
and went on to score 32.
Decatur’s troubles started
when leadoff man Tommy Lyn
ch was safe on an error.
Two more errors, four walks
and five hits later Griffin had
nine runs.
Larry Fields had two hits in
the Inning. Ronnie Pitts, Dan
McLean and Charles Reeves had
one.
As would be expected, the fir
st inning didn’t get by without a
couple of arguments.
One of the disputes came in
the top of the first when it was
apparent that a Decatur runner
was out at first by a couple of
steps. The ump called him safe.

McLellan’s
< 101 NORTH HILL STREET — GRIFFIN, GEORGIA
for Coach Gene Kierbow, appeal
ed the play to the plate empire.
The plate umpire over-ruled the
base umpire and called the run
ner out.
That brought on an argument
from the Decatur coach. The
ruling stood.
At the height of Griffin’s nine
run rally the Decatur coach be
came involved in another mild
dispute with the plate ump.
With runners on second and
third a ground ball was hit to
the infield. The fielder threw to
home in an attempt to cut down
the runner. The Decatur catch
er, thinking it was a force play,
stepped on home plate then
threw to first.
He was startled when the plate
umpire called the runner safe.
It was not a force play and-in
order for the runner to be out he
should have been tagged.
The Decatur coach cut his
protest short when the umpire
explained the situation.
Decatur used four pitchers.
Doug Simmons was the starter
and loser.
Ken Strickland went the dis
tance to nail down Griffin’s six
th regular season victory.
He checked Decatur on f o u r
hits, struckout seven and walk
ed three.
Griffin was scheduled to play
Russell today at 4 p.m.
Braves Beat Phils
On Bunt, Blooper
PHILADELPHIA (UPI) —The
Atlanta Braves hoped today to
put together their first winning
streak of the season after drop
ping Philadelphia Tuesday night
on a freakish bunt and a bloop
er single.
Die 3-1 victory was the first
in three games and left Atlanta
with two wins against four de
feats in the young season.
. The bunt and blooper came In
a third-inning rally of sorts.
Starting Braves pitcher Wade
Blasingame pushed a bunt down
the third base line to advance
Gary Geiger who got on with a
single.
Richie Allen charged In on
the slow roller but slipped and
fell. The ball, starting out as a
foul, -curved fair past the third
base line and came to a halt.
Felipe Alou then rapped out
his blooper fly to short right to
fill the bases. Marty Keough
bounced to Bill White at first.
White’s throw to second forced
Alou while Geiger scored and
when Dick Groat’s relay for a
double play hit Keough, Balsin
game also scored.
Lee Thomas tripled and ac
counted for the third run on a
sacrifice fly by Geiger.
The Phils scored when Allen
singled John Callison home in
the fourth inning.
