Highlands pitched a very steady effective game. It was hard luck for him that Amherst scored her two runs in the fourth. With no one out, Hunt and Steans on safe hits made third and second. The next two men were out on weak bunts to the infield, but Landis, after two strikes were called, placed a lucky hit safely over Abbott's head, and the two runs came...
