Yardling Nine Rallies to Trim Dean

Leftfielder John Getch's sharp grounder capped a five run ninth inning rally as the Yardling baseball team pulled out an 11 to 10 victory over visiting Dean Academy yesterday.

The freshmen led, 5 to 1, at the top of eighth inning, but by the bottom of the ninth they were down, 10 to 6.

Yardling coach Adolph Samborski practically cleaned his bench, throwing pinch-hitters and base-runners into the game in the last of the ninth. Rightfielder Bob Gobelein's grounder drove in the first run, following three Crimson walks. Then, with two out, Bill Cleary and John Maher smacked back-to-back hits to tie up the score. Getch iced the win.

Ed Rossane went eight innings, and was relieved by Bob Kessler and Dan Hinz.
