Ron Bradley and Charles Stingel, ace right-handers for Gnadenhutten (4-0) and Garaway High (3-1), respectively, in the Tuscarawas County Baseball League, hooked up for an old fashioned mound duel yesterday on the Indians' diamond. Bradley won out as his team copped a 5-3 verdict ending the Garaway three game winning streak. He whiffed 14, walked two and was touched for six hits. Singel was equally effective as he set down 15 Gnaden batters on strikes, walked four and yielded only four hits. Gnaden struck for two runs in the third and added three more in the fourth to clinch the contest. Ron Clark had two singles to lead the way. Bud Yakley and Korsa Zehnder blasted a triple and double, respectively, for Garaway as the Pirates scored two runs in the fifth and added their final tally in the 6th.
