The Evaks will now meet Taber in a 3 game series for the league championship. The series will commence with a double-header in Magrath this coming Sunday. The Evaks made 10 hits and took advantage of 8 Raymond errors to prove to be the better team. A two run uprising in the eight inning by Raymond was soon diminished, as curve ball specialist Mas Takahashi quickly set the next three batters down in order. Mas Takahashi was the big gun at the plate for the Evaks too, as he collected a triple and a home run in 4 attempts, Tad Kawasaki gathered 2 of the 7 hits allowed by Yabe, one being a tremendously long triple to left field. Yabe although having to be relieved by Mas Takahashi in the eighth inning, pitched brilliantly for the Evaks. It was Yabe*a 3rd victory in 3 starts over Raymond.
