Superior Nine Topples Proctor
Superior Evening Telegram, April 24, 1973

The Superior Senior High nine managed only six hits but took advantage of 11 walks and strolled to an 8-4 win over the Proctor High Rails Monday in Superior.

The Spartans built up a 5-0 lead in the first two innings and tallied three more in the fifth for their fourth win in five starts.

Superior talled twice in the first inning as Dave Lundquist's hit tallied Mike Mattson, who had walked and Dan Morgan, who had singled.

In the second inning, Superior had two walks and an error and a double by Gary Raymond plated one run among the three scored.

There were four walks in the fifth inning and Paul Sandvick followed with a double.

Lundquist and Lee McPherson pitched for Superior, combining for seven strikeouts while walking three men. Lundquist picked up the win, his second against no losses.

He also went two-for-two at the plate and was named the Spartans' "most valuable player" in the game.

Proctor had eight hits with Blaine Muckala getting two of them. The Rails scored twice in the third inning and added a pair in the sixth.

Dave Beardsley went the route on the hill for the Rails, fanning four men.

Superior returns to action Thursday afternoon against Northwestern High at Lake Nebagamon. Morgan, who is 1-1 this year, is scheduled to pitch for the Spartans.
