Frickers Rust lost to Allshred last evenening by a score of 11-6. Rust was able to hold Allshred in a check until the sixth inning when Allshred put up a five run attack to pull away. Frickers played with a lot of heart having to use two pool players to fill voids for inured players. James Van Brandt played a flawless third base with a key double play to thwart a rally by Allshred. Leading hitter for Rust was Jay Schramm with a three for four evening. Roy Koschalk assisted with two hits and a couple of RBI's. Joe Bondy laced a couple of singles to right field as did Roger Heinke. Dennis Weinstein continued with his improved hitting with a couple solid singles. Jerry Glansman had a two for three night with a BOB. Pool player Bob Miller helped out with a fine itching effort. Fricker's was hurt by leaving a number of runners in scoring position with less than two outs and unable to get the across.
