net profit.

Racking up
victory of the
Triplett softball team trounced Lima
Bradfield Center. 13 to 4, in a twi
light contest at Harmon field Friday.
To score their impressive victory
over the flashy Lima outfit, the
locals took advantages of several
costly errors on the part of the
visitors and combined them with
timely hitting.
Altho the Bradfield Center team
outhit Bluffton, eight safeties to six,
lapses in fielding at critical moments
turned what otherwise might have
been a tight pitchers’ battle into an
easy victory for the Triplett outfit.
After getting one run in each the
first and second innings, the Triplett
crew cut loose with a four-run as
sault in the third frame and added
four more tallies in the fourth. They
ended their scoring with three runs
in the sixth stanza, after the visit
ors had tallied three times in the
fifth and once in the sixth.
Bert Swank set the hitting pace
for the Triplett crew with two hits
in three official chances. One of his
