Bill Kohl cranks up strong left arm that has carried his team into Regional baseball play with 3 consecutive 2-hitters and yesterday's 3-hitter over Powhatan Point.
GNADENHUTTEN - An advantage of 3 wild pitches in the 1st inning was all the Indians needed to advance to the Regional Baseball Tournament at Canton May 19-20. Gnadenhutten (7-1), behind the 3-hit pitching of ace Bill Kohl (5-0), took District honors yesterday by holding Powhatan Point scoreless. Kohl with 3 consecutive 2-hitters to his credit prior to yesterday's contest, tangled with John Lysien in a tight pitcher's duel, as Lysien allowed only 2 hits.
The Indians took advantage of Lysien's wildness right from the start, when Steve Moore led off with a single (10) and rounded the bases on the wild pitches to give Gnadenhutten its 1-0 lead. Dan Jinks, the Indians' outstanding catcher, started the 8th inning with a single (2) for the only other hit given up by Lysien. Jinks went to 2nd on Mike Kail's sacrifice and when Lysien attempted to pick him off, the ball went into center field and Jinks was safe on 3rd base. Wayne Martin grounded out, permitting the run to come in. Denny Brown collected 2 singles off Kohl and Dennis Cook got the other. Brown's safeties came in the 2nd and 7th innings, while Cook connected in the fifth. Kohl walked only 2 batters, while striking out 9, in picking up his 4th decision in tournament action. Lysien struck out 10 and gave up 4 bases on balls. The Indians were charged with a single miscue, while Powhatan Point had two.
