Pitching in weather better suit- to "football than baseball, or be even too cold for that, he BC Iot at least two men via the strikeout route in all innings ex- the fifth and sixth, and he three in the seventh to close fc out. He lost his shutout on the first of the second inning, when Shannon hit it over the left field wall, a lowering drive which cleared the wail at about the 350- foot mark. It was Shannon's sec- home run of the season.

The game was played under protest from the fifth inning on, Wave Coach Norman Jenkins announcing that he was playing it under protest after a dispute over the ruling that he had to lift his pitcher after the second trip to the mound in the inning for a conference. After his second trip out to talk with pitcher Bernard Wray, he was told that the rules required him to take the pitcher out. Umpire John Brockwell said the protest was made on the basis that this wasn't brought out in the pre-game discussions.

Spencer was literally knocked from the box by the second Colonial Heights hitter. After he had retired leadoff man Bonnie Nichols, Ricky Dunaway hit a sharp line shot back to the mound which hit Spencer on the knee. He was taken to Petersburg General Hospital immediately for X-rays. Wray took over and induced Billy Wall to hit into a force play, but Wall took second when the relay went wild at first. Tayloj Ihen singled Wall home, and Bobby Whitehurst lined a double down the left field line to score Taylor.

Shannon came back with his home run to lead off the second, and it stayed that way unt; the fifth, when the Colonials al but wrapped it up with a two run uprising. Nichols led off the fifth with single, and after Dunaway fan ned, Wall drew a walk. Nichol advanced to third on a wile pitch, and Wall stole second. Nichols then scored on anoth er wild pitch, with Wall advanc ing to third, from where he scored on Taylor's sacrifice fly David Parrish singled off Tay lor in the first, and Sahnnon homered in the second, but from that point on an infield hit by Hayden Lewis in the fourth was the only hit off Taylor, who walk ed Buddy Ferguson twice for his only free tickets. 2b rf 3b R.
