Description:	THE NORMAL ADVANCE371in the eighth inning and following the twoNormal base runners across the plate with theonly runs of the game.Evans work in the box for the State Normalnine.did not loom up in the strike-out column.He fanned only three Poly batters. Bottlepitched a heady game, however, and withplenty of speed and curves worked the cornersof the plate. Not a single solid drive wasmade off his offerings. Buckner was the onlyman to solve his delivery. Sixteen put-outs forfirst baseman La Hue tell the story of Evanssuccess in forcing his opponents to knock infield taps.Normal played errorless ball, the fieldersgrabbing in one or two seemingly impossibleflies when hits would have meant runs.Rose Poly made three errors, one of themfatal. La Hues long swat netted the onlyearned run of the game.In the eighth inning, with goose egg cropsfor both teams, Skeeter, the first man up forNormal, took the third strike on a wild pitchand anchored at first base. Barret made a wildheave on Schockels bunt and Skeeter went tothird, Schockel camping out at second. Thecrowd called for a hit from La Hue, who hadalready found Backman for a two-bagger.Back succeeded in getting the lanky firstbaseman in the hole by laying over two strikes,but the next ball pitched was sent to centerfield, and before it could be relayed La Hue hadfollowed his two team mates over the plate.Score.State Normal.
