Selma defeated Smithfield yesterday afternoon in Selma in a seven inning tilt by the score of 9 to 7. The game was materially marred by the cold wind and rain which fell several times during the procedure. Kirkman started for Smithfield, was replaced by Smith, and Adams finished. Sugg twirled the entire game for Selma.
The Selma team garnered their hits and made them county for runs off the first two pitchers, but the Smithfield ace, when he got in the pill box, put a stop to Selma’s antics and pitched good ball for the remainder of the game. Smithfield’s tallies were made at different intervals throughout the game, but were unable to overcome the read piled up in the initial innings by the Selma aggregation.
Smithfield’s next game will be with Dunn on their grounds on Friday afternoon. Dunn defeated the locals here last week in a five-inning affair by the score of 8 to 1. Coach Rice feels confident of pulling a comeback on the Dunn outfit, basing his hopes on the improvement in form of his team which has been built up largely out of green timber. Still green, but dried out some, Smithfield will doubtless make the Harnett County lads work harder for runs than on last Friday.
