The only Corai Gables run came in the seventh frame and was unearned. Key West had been coast- ing along on a one run mar- gin when Julio Henriquez blasted a base hit and scored ona sacrifice, moments lat- er. Lefty Thompson will take the mound tonight. The winner of tonight's contest will go right back into'action against Hialeah for the right to meet the Pan American Post baseballers in the finals slated for to- morrow night.
