Plumbers put the game on ice in their half of the second frame Three hits, two walks, a wild pit and an error by catcher Menendez gave them six runs and sent Early to the showers. Early was batted out of the box in the fourth Monday night. Again last night Arias came to the rescue, ended the Pepper rally and held the heavy hitters to four safe- ties and two runs the remainder of the game. Plumbers batted around in the fatal second stanza. Early pitched himself into a tough spot in the very first in- ning. Baker, first man up, flied out; Villareal singled; Higgs forced Villareal at second; Cates walked; Ward walked; McCarthy hit to short who threw home to catch Ward for the final out. Both clubs played good ball on the field. The only error for the victors was committed by Jackie Carbonell. Conchs miscued tyice Menendes and Roberts.
