...bottom half of the sixth, after Charly Senay's towering triple to right with the sacks full of Deacons had put them out in front, 4 to 3. Eliot's third hurler of the day, Bill Foster, jughandled his way to a decision over Kirkland's ace rightbander Sam Bush, shelling him from the mound personally with a two-run double in the explosive sixth...
