Bates and Cobb was the battery for the first six innings and played a very strong game. The change from Bates' slow drop to Highlands' swift left-handed curves proved a complete puzzle to the Holyokes...
...leads the list with nine chances, none, to be sure, being very difficult, and one put-out, a hard catch to make.
