e ‘fielder was retrieving the ball. afternoon on _ his ‘8—The Nevada City Nugget, Tuesday, May 17, 1949 THE ROOF FELL IN! DROPPED FLY GIVES NEVADA CITY 6-3 WIN OVER COLFAX FIREBALLS, KIENLE STRIKES OUT 15 LOCALS Nevada City gained its second win of the 1949 Placer-Nevada baseball league Sunday afternoon at Colfax when Right Fielder Barnes dropped what would have been the final pitch of the game. Colfax was leading 3-2 in the ninth inning, two were out, the bases were loaded. Tony Kosinski* looped a long curving fly ball to. right field. Barnes ran obliquly after it and the ball pounced from his glove, rolled to the fence and the bases were emptied of Jones, Perry and Ralph Childers while the luckless right Thompson scored Kosinski from third with his third hit of the day for Nevada City’s sixth run but it. was an anti-climax. The damage was done, the roof had fallen in and the Colfax Fireballs, pride of Scoop Thurman, had lost. The game had been a terrific defensive battle until that point with Kienle having a_ pitching edge over Perry. Perry relied all knuckler and brilliant fielding behind him kept the hitless locals in the game. Kienle struck out 15 Nevada City batters and allowed but five hits. Perry gave up seven hits and fanned two. Thompson singled in reached ‘sceond on ground-out and scored Kienle threw the ball second into centerfield. Colfax tied it up in the fifth. Sypnicki tripled to the left field corner and Kienle brought him in with a Texas leaguer to left. the first, Cameron’s when through Kosinski slapped a high outside pitch over the centerfield fence in the sixth and Nevada City was ahead once more, 2-1. Marson singled, Hutchinson was hit by Perry, Hill sacrificed them forward and Sypnicki singled them home and the Fireballs were out im front for the first time 3-2. ‘Nevada City loaded the bases in the seventh, eighth and ninth inning but couldn’t score until the horrible error in right’ field broke up the game in the ninth. Fouyer was out on an attempted squeeze play in the seventh. Kosinski was forced at home in the eighth in attempts te tie the game. In the fatal ninth Goldsberry was safe on an error to open the inning, but was forced at second by.sdones who was safe on the fielder’s choice. Perry walked and Ralph Childers, pinch hitting for his brother. singled to fill the bases. Radley struck out. Kosinski flied to right field for what should have been the final out. of the game. Thompson singled to score Kosinski. Cameron grounded out to end the inning. Sypnicki. opened the Fireball’s half of the ninth with a single. Barnes flied to Jones. MeGahan drove his third fly into Kosinski’s hands and Kienle grounded out to end the game. After watching the fine defenSive play of the Nevada City, Allen G. “‘Scoop’’ Thurman, secretary of the Placer-Nevada league, probably has an answer to ‘his published wonderment that Nevada City beat Placerville.
