Cadets Learn Diamond Lessons

«=Tr> he baseball Colonels closed a long, hard, learning

U season with back-to-back games with Mexico High

School and a 7-1 record, says Maj. Ron Rosendahl, coach.

The 10-run rule ended the team’s final game of the season in the fifth inning May 15. The 11-1 game opened and closed with homeruns by Mexico. Oscar Canales scored the Colonels only run.

By the luck of the draw, the Colonels and Bulldogs met three days later in the first game of district play in Fulton.

As in their first meeting, the 10-run rule ended the 13-2 contest in the fifth. Hank Scoble and Mike Girardeau scored the MMA runs.

From the start, it has been a rough season for the cadets. They opened by hosting, and losing to, Higbee, 42, April 2. MMA was ahead in the third inning, but Higbee came back and scored in the fourth and fifth innings.

Although Pitcher Brian Grissom collected 11 strikeouts, the Colonels nullified his work by getting the same number of fans themselves. MMA had three hits fortheirtwo runs.

The Colonels tried to recover from the loss at the Community R-6 game April 6. Although the cadets’ hitting improved, nine hits for seven runs, R-6 came up one better in runs. The Colonels were ahead at the bottom of the seventh, but R-6 scored three runs for the 8-7 final. The

Colonels are looking forward to the May 11 rematch, said

Maj. Rosendahl.

MMA’s baseball season hit bottom when the 10-run rule closed the game with Madison in the fifth inning April 22.

Ken Linck made the only hit in the game.

Kemper Military School forfeited the April 16 game, giving the Colonels the win, and defeated them 4-2 May 5, giving the Yellowjackets the state military championship.’

Football comes to mind when looking at the score of the Colonel’s 22-16 loss to Madison May 11. From the start it looked as though the 10-run rule would close the game in the fifth. Madison led 7-0 after the first inning. But it was 8-4 after the second, and 9-4 after the third. The teams tied at 16 in the seventh inning and could make no headway until the 10th inning, when Madison scored its final runs.

The Colonels thought they had a chance against Community R-6 May 11, and they did until a late scoring surge by R-6 closed the game a 13-6. The game was tied at two until the fourth inning. Frank Timmons and Chad Gates scored the MMA runs in the first and second innings.

R-6 pulled ahead by one in the fourth, and MMA, with runs by Lance Heutel and Scoble, regained a one-run lead at the top of the fifth. But R-6 responded with five in the last half of the inning. MMA was shut out in the sixth, and R-6 scored another five. The Colonels shut out R-6 in the sixth and Timmons and Scoble scored again, but it wasn’t
