Four bases on balls, a passed ball, an error, and a wild pitch in the second inning helped the Dudley nine defeat Adams, 7 to 5, yesterday at Soldiers Field. The win put the Commuters in sole possession of first place.
Six runs crossed the plate in the second, and Dave Gilbert went on to scatter seven Gold Coaster hits and strike out 12 to earn the win.
At the same time, behind the two-hit pitching of Paul Altrocchi, Lowell defeated Kirkland, 8 to 2. A double and a single to center field in the second inning accounted for the Deacons' runs.
Three of the Lowell scorers had walked and two others reached first on infield errors.
In crew races yesterday, Adams downed Lowell and Dunster, and Kirkland and Dudley defaulte dto Eliot.
