SACRED HEART ACADEMY TOPS DE LA SALLE, 4-3 Local Rally Halted By Seven Inning Agreement Santos, In Crusader Debut, Six, Allows Klght lilts, Two Unearned Runs Frowned on by Dame Fortune, DC La Salic Academy dropped a 4-3 decision to a highly rated Sacred Heart Academy nine Tuesday afternoon at Providence in Class interscholasllc baseball league competition. While the Crusaders sang the praises ot John "Babe" Santos of grade school fame, who fanned six and didn't grant a single pass In his high school debut, they were a bit downcast.

The teams waited 45 minutes for the officials to appear, and when finally the coaches decided to select two umpires from the crowd. It-was agreed to limit the game to seven innings. De La Salle, trailing 4-1 at the end of the third Inning, fashioned runs In the fifth and seventh and left the tying and winning runs on the bases in the last frame. The Crusaders Indicated that over a nine-Inning route that they might have won. Errors helped De La'Salle In the seventh.

McDonald fanned but the third strike got away from the catcher. With two down McDonald stole second base Then "Tucker" sulllvon sliapped a roller to short on which on error was made. McDonald flashing across the plate. Wilkinson was hit by a pitched ball. So the tying run was on second and the go-ahead counter on first when the rally was snuffed out.

Sanetos was tapped for eight hits, but he allowed only two earned runs and pitched runless ball after the third heat. However, Tague, Sacred Heart Hurler, was even more effective, holding tehe Crusaders to four hits and one deserved tally. Sacred Heart bunched three hits for two runs in the opening inning. De La Salle struck back in the second chapler when Jim Santos and Donald McDonald poled doubles. But Tague, Sacred Heart-southpaw fltnger, was masterly the rest of the route.

The only other hits he permitted were Dick Wright's stagle In the fourth and Powell's one-bagger In the fifth. In the third Inning the Provide nee team clinched the game by scoring twice on two errors, a sacrifice and an error. Not a bai- ter reached first base on Santas In the fourth, fifth and sixth in nings. De La Salle scored In the i on Powell's single, Sullivan's sacrifice, an infield out and a wild pitch.

It was unfortunate that In his only shaky Inning, the third In which Central circled the bases four tinui, his defense buckled, tossing In two errors to blond a potent defeat dose ivith the pair of hits ar.d a walk. Dave Blumen clouted a two- master for Rogers. The Vikings' other four nits were made by Dalley, who handled five chances without a bobble at shortstop; Ed Schuster, Bob Ardito and George Camlllo. Slanton Brown'ell covered first base In fine style for Rogers. Rogers, outhit 8-5 by Central, ilso lacked the up-ststers' speed ir.d skill on the base paths.

Central's five pilfered hassocks, plus two passed balls, paved the. way for several rallies. All in all, however, Coach Fitzgerald was not discouraged by the Vikings' show- Ing. Rogers was first to crack the Ice In the mythical scoring pond, scoring In the second inning. But Central came back with a counter in Its half of the some frame, and then applied the crusher in the form of a four-run outburst in the fourth.

Lynch, a nephew of George Cpz- zens. one of Newport's best twirlers 20 years ago, greased the defeat chute by walking the Centra! pitcher in the fourth Inning. Then mlsplays started the ball rolling In Central's direction. Two hits and a fielder's choice and Central had four runs and the ball game. Rogers showed Its mettle by shaking off the effects of the Central surge.

Blumen opened the fourth with a booming double and pranced home on Ardito'a single. Bloomfield and Dailey coaxed walks to keep the rally in motion, but there the attack stuttered and died. Central pushed'over two more runs in the seventh to Ice the game away. Rogers had several scoring chances In the late innings, but.lacked the punch. In all the Newport club stranded nine men.
