SAINTS NOSE OUT BRAVES 5-4 TO CLAIM A PLAY-OFF FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP

By “TIME OUT"

The vast crowd that braved yesterday's blazing afternoon sun at King's Park to witness the long-awaited return clash between the Braves and Saints was amply rewarded as this thrill-packed tussle saw Jindo Hussain's Saint Joseph's blast their way into a two-way tie for League supremacy when they trimmed the leading Braves 5-4.

Playing determined ball in their last ditch effort to crawl back into the hot chase, the Joeys jumped into the lead as early as the second frame with two runs Ozorio and, entering the bottom half of the seventh with a four-al deadlock, Arl added the finishing touch with a masterful run-scoring single over second for the margin of victory.
