Exercise 3.14

             The Bay City Bluebirds rallied from a 3- run deficit last night to defeat the Carmel Cardinals 6-3 to win the Western Tri-State Championship.

 The Bluebirds are assured a place in the Tri-State playoffs which begin next week. Their opponent will be determined tonight in a game between the Santa Ana Generals and the Redwood Knights. 

 The Cardinals led the Bluebirds for most of the game and they have a 3-0 lead in the eighth inning. 

 The Bluebirds' first baseman, Tim Story, walked and stole second base as half of the eighth inning remained. Left fielder Biff Carbosi was walked intentionally and both runners moved up a base on a wild pitch by Cardinal starter Ronnie Miller. He was then relieved by Chuck Nelson. 

             Carbo Garbey, the Bluebirds' second baseman, lined Nelson's first pitch into deep centerfield by scoring both base runners. Two pitches later, Garbey stole home to tie the game. 

 Nelson got the next two hitters out, then Carey Clark, the Bluebirds' catcher homered to put the Bluebirds ahead. They added two more runs in the ninth to insure their victory.
