KEENE - The Baltic Eagles (3-0) got off to a slow start Saturday, and consequently dropped their third straight game of the young season, losing to host Three Rivers. Baltic was able to collect only 16 points in the first half, while Three Rivers was scorching the nets for 45 points and a 29 point halftime advantage. After intermission, the Eagles got rolling and outscored the eventual winners in both the third and fourth quarters, but Three Rivers just had too much of a lead. "I don't think they'll lose too many games," commented Baltic Coach Erroll Jacobs about Three Rivers. "They've got a real good ball club." The taller Three Rivers cagers controlled both backboards forcing Baltic to foul frequently. Three Rivers made 17 of 25 at the bonus stripe, while Baltic made 6 of the 8 it attempted. Willis Mullet topped Baltic with 24 points. Dick Gerber pitched in with 14. Haas had 16 for Three Rivers and he was backed up by Bible with 11 and Porterfield with 10. No mention of a Reserve game.
