DOVER - The Baltic Eagles (2-1) (23-33) (10-9) copped a 16-8 lead over the Port Washington Purple Riders (1-2) (9-32) (10-11) in the 1st quarter of a Consolation Division contest won by the Eagles 54-44. The Purple Riders swung down on the Eagles in the 2nd period and took a 25-22 edge at halftime intermission. Then with only 6 minutes to go in the 3rd stanza, Baltic went ahead 40-39 on Senior forward Dean Gerber's field goal and from then on the Eagles didn't falter. Seniors guard Doren Pepper, center Marvin Dietz and forward Paul Brown put the finishing touches on Port in the last and final quarter.
The elimination of Port Washington dropped Senior forward Elmer Linard, one of the county's high scorers, out of tournament play. He copped game honors by scoring 23 points last night to lead the Riders, while Senior forward Sonny Johns was collecting 15 markers. Dietz, big Baltic center, scored 16 points to lead his team as Brown hit 14 and Pepper got 13 wrapping up the double figure scoring for the Eagles.
