Fordham didn't allow the visiting Quakers a home run in the three games as they shaved a game off Guilford's lead.

Game One was a marathon. The Flashes got back to back homers in the sixth inning from Fred Lindstrom and Joe Medwick to open a 3-1 lead. and a solo homer from Jim Bottomley in the eighth made it 4-1 going into the ninth. Guilford scored four runs in the top of the ninth on five singles and a walk to take a 5-4 lead, but an error by Joe Tinker in the bottom of the inning allowed Fordham to tie it up. Vic Keen and Mule Watson then threw shutout relief until the bottom of the 14th, when the Flashes got singles from Ross Youngs, Lindstrom ad Bottomley to win it. Lindstrom was 5-for-6 for the game.

The Quakers led the second game all the way, scoring in the first on Hank Greenberg's triple and Larry Doby's double. They added three runs in the third on three walks and three singles. The Flashes pulled to within 4-3 after sixth, but Guilford scored six runs in the eighth with five singles and two walks to put it away.

Fordham scored five runs in the second inning of the finale, getting a two-run homer from Highpockets Kelly and a three-run shot from Youngs. Kelly added another homer in the fifth. Jesse Haines threw a six-hit complete game.

Pitcher availability: Guy Bush worked four innings in the finale for the Quakers and should sit the next three games. Keen is out for their next game, Aldridge will start on three games rest to make Jacobs available for relief if needed. For the Flashes, Watson is out two more games.

Projected starters: Flashes -- McQuillan-V Barnes-Grimes-Haines-Nehf. Quakers -- Aldridge-Jacobs (or Keen)-Lyons-Faber-Kaufmann.

Ortonville extended its winning streak to six with its second consecutive sweep, pounding Baltimore's pitchers for 27 runs in the three games.

Travis Jackson drove in four runs in the opener with a homer and double, while Billy Herman and Norm McMillan (subbing for the injured Pee Wee Reese) scored twice apiece. Orioles starter Dave McNally hit three batters in five innings while giving up eight runs.

Jackson hit another homer in Game Two and picked up three more RBIs. The Orioles scored five runs in the final three innings to make the final score closer than the contest actually was.

Game wasn't close at all. Heinie Manush drove in two runs in the top of the first for Ortonville, and the Orators got six straight two-out hits in the third off Jim Hardin to open a 6-0 lead, then tacked three more on in the fourth on Kiki Cuyler's three-run homer. Manush had four RBIs in all, Cuyler three, while Richie Ashburn, Dan Brouthers and Cuyler each scored twice. Hardin wore this one to preserve the Orioles overworked bullpen.

Pitcher availability: Pruett worked one inning in the finale for the Orators; all other relievers are fully rested. Leonhard pitched two innings for the Orioles, and all other relievers are without restriction.

Projected starters: Orioles -- Palmer-Cuellar-McNally-Phoebus-Hardin-Cuellar-Palmer. Orators -- Davis-Wingard-Sutton-Jenkins-Shocker
