THE RAINS CAME IN THIRD FRAME TO WASH OUT CONCH. SUN SOX BATTLE By JIM COBB Citizen Sports Editor After just two and a third inn- ings of play last night in an FIL contest between the Key West Conchs and the Miami Sun Sox, the weatherman stepped in and took charge of the situation which found the Conchs on the short end of a 9-0 score. And it might have been a good thing for the Miamians- those — Conchs Greet Hometown Boy Conchs just might have pulled off the impossible. Twenty year old Augustin Rodri- guez, fresh in from Cuba and mak- ing his first start for the Conchs just didn’t have it when the Sun Sox got to him for six hits in the abbreviated contest. And Aus- gustin wasn’t getting the ball over the plate either when he gave up five bases on balls. The visitors plated a single run in the first inning and seven more in the second on five hits and a quartet of free passes. And with one out in the third frame, Oscar Sierra lifted Rodri- guez’ first pitch right out of the ballpark for a roundtrip ticket. The pelota must have struck a raincloud for immediately there- after a torrential downpour en- gulfed the field. There was never any doubt that the baligame was over for the evening when the alleged playing field soon became @ quagmire under the tropical Rains slashed the Florida Inter- national League schedule in half Sunday night. In the two games played, St. Petersburg walloped | Lakeland, 10-2, and Miami Beach shipped West Palm Beach, 5-1. Hooks Iott limited Lakeland to six hits and the Pilots chipped in four errors. St. Petersburg collect- ed nine hits off Paul Klafter, C! Covington, Bill Boyette and Gene Pereyra. Roger McKee and Frank Gallardo contributed triples for the Saints while Iott and Chino Hidalgo hit doubles. Charlie Glock, playing | third instead of his usual second | base position, made his first error | of the season, believed to be a} league record. Dave Barnhill notched his sixth | win at Miami Beach where he} pitched a four - hitter. West Palm | Beach’s only run was Chuck Weiss’ | homer in the fourth.
