ANHEUSER-BUSCH BREWS UP SWEEP OVER CHAFFEE

CHAFFEE -- Chaffee American Legion baseball team failed to hold onto a two-run, seventh-inning lead in the nightcap of a doubleheader with Anheuser-Busch Saturday and saw the visitor leave with a pair of victories.

Anheuser-Busch ultimately won the second game 11-5 in eight innings after winning the opener 3-0.

Chaffee took a 5-3 lead into the seventh and saw Anheuser Busch score two runs on one hit. In the eighth, Anheuser-Busch scored six runs on two hits, three walks, one hit batsman and one error.

"We didn't play very well at the end of the second game," said Chaffee coach Bruce Qualls. "In crucial pressure situations we didn't handle it well."

Chaffee had 10 hits in the game. Lance Miller and Chris Patton each had a pair of hits while Chris Vetter blasted a two-run homer in the first inning.

Patton suffered the loss in relief of Jeremy Yarbro.

Kenny allowed just four hits in the opener, but took the loss. Chaffee could muster just four hits of its own.

Chaffee Legion will visit Imperial for a 1 p.m. game today.
