G54 Stratford 5 @ Morgantown 4

Several Morgantown rallies fall short, stifled by either good ptching or good fielding. In the ninth, as Morgantown has done all season, the purples storm back against the relievers. Three runs in the 9th cross, but it is not enough to get back in the game. Oblomov—ancient Oblomov in his 16th season and with only 400 at bats lifetime with two teams; he even sat out three seasons—gets a homer and is three for four with four RBIs. Avons improve and crawl out of the cellar. Morgantown squanders an opportunity to gain ground on Leningrad.
