For the contest, Clarington gave up only three singles, walked none and fanned nine in going the entire route. The region confrontation was a scoreless affair for the first two innings, until the home-standing Panthers opened the doors in the third. Perry loaded the bases, with two out, and then broke the ice when catcher Jerry Barnes surprised the Tech men with a perfectly placed bunt that brought across the first run of the game. With the bases jammed with Panthers again, Curtis Booney got hold of a Mickey Claxton fast ball and sent it soaring into the far reaches of right field. Booney’s “slam” made the count 5-0, and from that point on the issue was never in doubt. Perry chased another run over the pay station in the sixth when Barnes rapped a single and scored on a long triple by the left-hand hitting Booney. Bibb Tech mounted their only scoring threat in the final inning by collecting two of their three hits. The Tech bid to spoil Clarington’s George Taylor. 7tn Flight: Winner - Otto Baumann, Runner up - Mikey Robinson, Consolation Winner - Joe Shuttlesworth.
