The PBL infield will be composed of Kevin Toomey 1B, Jim Buresh 2B, Jim Ridge SS, and Hank Quigg 3B. The outfielders will be led by Bob "Ozzie" Orton, MVP in the playoffs, in centerfield, flanked by steady Bob Sullivan in right and Bob Dunkle, long-ball hitter, in left. The Milton Mets have compiles a team batting average of over .300 and they will be led by former south Boston High outstanding athlete, Dom Gentile, at 3rd base. An exciting contest is anticipated and John "Bucky" Feeney, league president, urges the public to attend tonight and contribute to the Jimmy Fund, which is doing so much to overcome the ravages of cancer in children. In last week's Jimmy Fund game, the Boston Police All-Stars came from behind in the final inning, ith southie's John Dailey driving in the winning run with a vicious double. Bobby Sullivan was outstanding in a losing cause, going 4 for 4. "Chick" Noonan was also superb allowing only one hit in his 4-inning stint on the mound. Tonight's game will be the final game of the season and Commissioner Ray Flynn and President Feeney, on behalf of all of the teams in the league, thank the loyal and generous fans who have helped to make this league "the best in Boston." |
