The victory avenged a de- feat pinned on the Conchs Thursday night by Coral Gables and enabled local fans to get a look at the Conch’s crack hurler, George Lastres, at his best. Lastres, who threw considerably harder than was necessary to put the Cavaliers on ice, showed why he is rated Florida’s top school- when he gave up one appy to have the leanwhile, ‘the Conchs were fat- up their batting averages ith their 13 hit assault. They scored a single run in the second inning when Lastres sing- and Hal Solomon, currently hot a firecracker at the plate, trip- to score him. But the real carnage started in the third frame when the Key Westers, defending state champ- » Picked up six runs on five hits. Gibby Gates started it with a leadoff single. Don Cruz doubled to send him in and. Eloy Rodri- guez hit a screaming ground ball through the box that hurler Lang- er tried to field with his pitching hand. The result wag an injury “that sent him to showers, But his relief was like a cousin Salgado walked Lastres pick. ed up his second of the eve- ning to load the bages. Julio Henriquez then sent a three-run line double in- to left field. The Cavaliers then engineered a double play when Santana lined to second base and Henriquez was doubled off the bag. The Conchs came right back in the fourth frame to pick up three more runs. Don Cruz’ single and stolen second base started it off. He scored a short time later on a weird fluke. It occurred when Eloy Rodriguez sent a pop fly up about a half-mile in front of the pitcher’s mound, The Cavalier in- field could not make up their minds about who was going to take it and it dropped in for a base hit. Meanwhile, Cruz streaked for third base and the throw there to nail him was wild. Cruz scored. First baseman Biff Salgado and Pitcher Lastres then hit sucessive triples with Lastres scoring on a passed ball to complete the scor- ing for the inning. The Conchs picked up their final Tun in the fifth when Cruz singled and scored on Salgado’s second hit of the evening, a single. Don Cruz, with three singles, Lastres with a triple and single in three tries and Salgado with a like mark for the evening, led the Conch at the plate.
