62 - Baltic Clips Fresno 47-43 (2-13-62)

BALTIC - Repeating an earlier victory, the Eagles of Baltic (9-11) clipped Fresno Tuesday to boost their season record.  Baltic, which had defeated Fresno 38-33 earlier, led all the way last night, but had trouble pulling away from the visitors.  The Eagles would soar ahead 10 or 12 points only to have Fresno chop the lead down to practically nothing.  Then Baltic would spurt back up.  The Eagles led at the quarter stops 14-10, 28-22 and 36-31.  Baltic was hurt at the foul line, being whistled for 26 personal fouls, while only 10 were called on the visitors.  Baltic outgoaled Fresno 21-14.  Baltic returns to play Friday night when it meets Strasburg (11-7) at 7:30 in county tournament action at New Philadelphia High School gym.  Dick Gerber topped Baltic with 16 points, Willis  Mullet adding 10.  Four of Freesno's starters were in double figures, led by Bill Ames' 12.  It was reported only that the Baltic Reserves (6-8) won the game.
