NORTH OKANAGAN BASEBALL
(May 24) Playing on a somewhat soggy diamond, the hosting Enderby nine opened the 1915 season with a 5 to 3 victory over Armstrong. The two north Okanagan squads were locked in a 3 – 3 tie up until the seventh frame when Enderby’s Elmer Black delivered a two-run single to provide the lead and insurance runs. Armstrong had opportunities in both the eighth and ninth panels to knot the count but winning pitcher Patton was able to come through in the clutch.

(July 1) Enderby came from behind to record a 3 to 1 verdict over hosting Armstrong in a well-played match between the two north Okanagan rivals. Armstrong plated their lone run in the second frame when C. Johnston tripled and was driven home on a single by “Doc” McCullough. Enderby tied it at 1 – 1 in the seventh round when Jack LaForge doubled and crossed the dish on winning pitcher Patton’s single. In the eighth canto, Elmer Black doubled and eventually reached home when Dean Fravel ripped a sacrifice fly to the middle pasture. Enderby’s final tally, also in the eighth, was an unearned marker which resulted after F. Dill reached base on an infield error, moved around the sacks and hustled home with the insurance run on Ed Dill’s dribbler to shortstop.
