ADAMSVILLE - Hurt by personal fouls and cold shooting, the Baltic Eagles (0-2) dropped their second game of the season Friday to host Adamsville. The Eagles had to do without forward Willis Mullet, who was high scorer with 15 points in the opening game, for most of the game as he picked up too many fouls. The game was tight all the way. Adamsville grabbed a 3 point lead at the end of the first quarter, increased it to 6 at the half, but had to hold on for dear life when Baltic came back in the second half. The Eagles chopped the margin to 2 points, 39-37, at the end of 3 periods, but faded in the fourth. Dick Gerber paced Baltic with 10 points, followed by Jack Miller and Don Stauffer with 8 points apiece. Dan Lapp tossed in 18 counters to lead the winners. Although out-rebounding Adamsville, the Eagles couldn't find the shooting touch, hitting on only 30 percent from the field and 40 percent from the foul line. Coach Errol Jacobs traces the shooting problem to the fact that the Ealges have been practicing with almost no lights in their gym and will continue to do so until the lights arrive. Again, no mention of a Reserve game.
