around until Tyrus had a chance lo
reach second By that time the putout
had been made, but Cobb kept on going
and was nearing third when Burns
heaved the ball to Shannon A muff re
sulted and Ty was safe. Shannon was
not given an error on this play, but
he dererved one On the next play he
made a terrible heave on Veach's
grounder and Cobb scored.
Dugan's bum throw allowed Cobb to
score again In the eighth It's funnvi
how those kids go up In the air every
time Ty gets on base

net went bigger than ever before. He
wrestled with a bulky package of uni
