Three players for the Seminole Tire team — Gary Steeves, Gary Vann and Spider Ross — managed two hits against Yates pitcher Harland Newby.

Play on the other field was close until the last inning, when the Lake Placid Marine team scored 16 runs to claim a 38-22 win over the Central Security.

Lake Placid Marine moved into a third place tie with Central Security at 4-5, while Seminole Tire dropped to 3-6 as the league play neared the half way point of the season. Play continues through March.
