By WENDY FOLTZ Enquirer and News Sports Editor A late rally by the Battle Creek Braves fell just short and the league leading Lansing Capitals hung on desperately for a 112-110 victory here Saturday night in the Central High Field House. With most of the 1,450 fans standing and cheering, the Braves had a long-shot chance to tie or win the game with two seconds on the clock. They had the ball out at the opposite end of the floor.

They tossed the ball into center court where Gary Turner took a desperate shot from mid-court but the ball was far short of its mark. If the ball had gone in, it would have been a three-pointer giving Battle Creek a victory. The win sent the Capitals two games ahead of the Braves in the Eastern Division of play in the North American Basketball League. The Lansing club has won four straight games while Battle Creek stands at 2-2, losing the last two after winning its first two games. It was a tough one for the Braves to lose and a big victory for the Lansing quintet.

It probably was more disappointing to the local quint which had been behind most of the first three quarters but tieing the game at Brown's long passes was inter cepted by OSU Tom Portsmouth on the OSU one.
