Yardlings Snare Sixteenth Win, Downing Milton, 8 to 4

With Les Pitchford of the mound, the 1942 baseball warriors continued their winning ways against Milton Academy, scoring a decisive 8 to 4 triumph yesterday afternoon on the schoolboy diamond. It was the sixteenth win of the current campaign.

The Samborski outfit scattered their scoring well through the game with Ed Buckley smashing out a clean single to drive in men from second and third with the telling runs. Milton was in the lead at the time with the score at 4 to 3.

Pitchford turned in a fine mound job, striking out Milton batters at random. In the batters' box Captain Mike Rice a shone getting two hits before he left the game in the eighth with a bad ankle. Jimmy Lynch also accounted for a bingle that went for three bases.

Saturday the Yardling batsmen tangle with a tough Yale Freshman nine in the season's finale. This game will bring to a close one of the most successful Yardling campaigns in recent years. The team has suffered only two early season losses in eighteen starts.
