History repeated itself on the
Bluffton college baseball diamond last
Friday afternoon when Bluffton High
came from behind to defeat Lima
St. Gerard, 6 to 5, in an extra-in
ning Lima league game.
The victory, which enabled the, un
defeated Pirates to continue to set
the pace in league competition, in
many respects was a repetition'of a
tilt played about one year ago when
Bluffton rallied to defeat the Gerries,
after trailing at one time, 12 to 0.
In last Friday’s tilt, the Lima crew
had everything to their favor as
they pulled away to a 5 to 0 lead
before the Pirates ever broke the
scoring ice.
Spotty fielding was the major
contributing factor as the Gerries
tallied two runs in the second inning
and three more in the fourth.

seventh the Pirates tied the score
with another brace of runs, and in
the extra inning with two men out
and runners on second and third a
wild pitch permitted the winning run
to cross the plate.
Moore, on the mound for Bluffton,
gave up only five hits, and was par
ticularly effective in the latter stages
of the game. Two Lima pitchers
gave up six hits to the Bluffton
team, two of which were clouted by
each Pogue and Miller. Both of
Miller’s safeties were doubles, and
Pogue had a home run and a single.
