Second baseman Rogers Hornsby slammed 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI and Ed Walsh
came through with a solid 9 innings as the North Eaton Posy DagGumits
ballclub embarrassed the reeling Grand River Ghostmen by the count of 11 to
1.

Hornsby made sure the North Eaton fans enjoyed themselves. He smashed a
bases-empty 'big-fly' in the 5th inning and smashed a two-run homer (his 18th
of the season) in the 8th inning. Offensively, North Eaton was a juggernaut.
They scored in 6 separate innings.

Walsh(16-6), allowing 1 run for the game, picked up the victory. Nap
Rucker(4-3) was charged with the loss. He allowed 4 homeruns in 4 innings of
work.

'Walsh took our guys to school' Buck Guthrie said. 'Too bad he doesn't pitch
for us - it would make my job a whole lot easier!'
