Full-scale action in the Easter classic begins today with four games scheduled on the diamonds at Pierce and Valley Colleges. The final set of fonr Ramea will be played tomorrow with the winner being selected on the basis of most games won.

If there is a two-way tie in that category, the team that defeated the other will be declared the winner, and if there an unbreakable three-way tie, tournament officials will meet to determine the winner by means of comparative scores. Morning games today, at 10:30 a.m., will pit Pierce against Glendale College of Arizona at Pierce and Mesa lommunity College of Arizona against Santa Monica City College at Valley.

No one got as far as thir base for Pierce, but early the game, Mike Hughe reached base on an error an advanced to second whe Dave Zall was issued a fre pass.

-Hughes was erased on fielder'? choice, however, an that was as close to scoring a Pierce could come. Valley didn't get a runne past first base until the eight game. mmng. That's when the moved rnnnfrn to first and third with only one, out bnt couldn't ncore, a 1 Johnson. In the ninth inning, Bonham led off with a fly-ball single to right field and Ed Conway laid down a perfect bunt for a base hit between pitcher and third base.

Arnie Murillo was safe on a fielder's choice, Conway being thrown out at second base, but Bonham was. able to advance to third. So Valley "had an opportunity to score, and the capitalized on that chance, sending, Bonham home on a ground ball to Ross at third by Wayne Faulkner.
