Maine West won twice over Maine South. The first win came on Apr. 26, 9-5. Ron Rausch was the winning pitcher with a good relief performance. Watson added another homer - this one a three-run job for the game's big clout. Watson and Bob Zuccarini each had run-scoring triples.
A week later South came to West in search of revenge but were ambushed 8-1. Earhart was the winning pitcher, giving up only one run-producing hit. West came up with 11 hits in the game, seven of which came in a first inning outburst, which provided Earhart with a comfortable 7-0 lead.
