By "Grandstand”
SNAPPING BACK INTO THEIR WINNING FORM, THE HONG KONG BASEBALLERS WRESTED THE SOFTBALL LEAGUE LEADER- SHIP FROM THE SAINTS BY RINGING UP A 10-3 TRIUMPH IN AN ERRORLESS GAME LAST SUN- DAY.
The Saints, losing the toss, went in to bat first and threatened in the first inning, when George Souza and Hery Ali both singled, but the former was nailed at the plate when attempting to score from third on Dave Leonard's slow roller to short, whilst catcher Joe Morris' bullet peg snuffed Leonard when he tried to burgle second.
