Bayeball UNION VS. JACKSON SEPTEMBER 27. Union opened the baseball season by traveling to Jackson where the home team bowed to Union 31-O. A teriffic attack and smooth working defense enabled the Orange and Black to smother their opponents. Abshear and Wiles were put in as the batteries for Union in the fifth inning, thus retir- ing Good and Thomas who had done their part well. jackson also changed batteries but Union batters still drove on. UNION VS. DIXON OCTOBER 10. Union rode to victory again by outscoring their opponents 10-O. The Orange and Black batters apparently couldn't let the ball go by the pan as they would swing and pound the pill in all directions. They pounded it for eleven clean hits. Good had his fast ball working fine that day as he held Dixon down to five scattered hits. The Dixon batters hit inopportunely and the Union fielders performed excellently. UNION VS. MONROE OCTOBER 18. Union met a tough opponent when they won the northern championship from Monroe. As the game was nearing the end Monroe made several good hits, putting them in the lead, 3 to 1. In the last inning of play Union tallied their game-winning runs, giving them a 5 to 4 victory. Both teams played well in the field and also at bat, but Good had a slight edge in the pitcher's duel. UNION VS. WEST ELKTON OCTOBER 25. Union battled West Elkton, champs of the southern half of the county, for the county honors on the Dixon diamond. Union again was the victor. In this game Union went into the last inning trailing by one run. Thomas was safe on an error, stole second and went to third on Unger's single. Unger promptly stole second and Dafler came through with a timely single scoring Thomas and Unger with the game-winning runs, giving Union a 6 to 5 victory, for the county championship. 1930 UNION VS. MONROE APRIL 24. On Friday, April 24, Union opened its 1930 baseball campaign with a 4 to 1 victory over Monroe. Good limited Monroe to two hits, while Union gathered twelve, Union played well but the batting and fielding must be improved if another championship is to be expected. Four members of last fall's championship team are missing. Their places are being capably filled by Koffer, Weisenberger, Saul, Steiner and Bunger. For the remainder of the season much will be expected from them. Page Forty-two
