If the Lancashire-2nd-IX Lightning know how best to pitch the Pembroke-2nd-IX second baseman Stan Sperry they didn't tip their hand today. Instead Sperry showed he knew how best to hit them as he easily handled Lightning pitching, going 5 for 5 and helping the Red Foxes to a 7-0 triumph at Ballpark of Pembroke.
He told SION reporters in the postgame interview, "The way I was swinging today, I think I could have closed my eyes and hit the ball."
The Lancashire-2nd-IX skipper quipped, "Well, the next time we may just do that...blindfold him...and then pitch him differently, just to be sure."
S. Sperry singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th.
Sperry is presently hitting at a .286 pace with no home runs and 6 RBIs. He has played in 42 games and scored 6 times.

Tom Knowlson of Middlesex-2nd-IX easily handled the Pembroke-2nd-IX Red Foxes, stopping them on 4 hits and chucking a complete game 4-0 shutout.

Knowlson said, "Everything was working for me. Throwing my breaking stuff over the plate was big."
He finished the game with 3 strikeouts and 4 walks in a solid outing.
In 1923 Knowlson has fashioned a 10-12 mark, 5.12 ERA and pitched 168.2 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .277 against him and he has logged 77 strikeouts.
