Brown was walked, and went to third on two short singles to right field by Harrison and Downey. Elliott hit to left, scoring Brown. Mills grounded to Corcoran, who threw to Clougher forcing Harrison at the plate. Clough er threw to Brower, but Mills had beaten the throw. Brower slept with the ball in his hand while Downey kept on coming home, scoring from second on the play. The ball was re turned to Karpp and then he threw to Brower, catching Mills off first. While Mills was being chased down Elliott stole third and home and then Mills slid back safe# into first. He died later trying to steal second. Utica rallied In the eighth.
