Cannons Set Pace In American Legion

Wed., June 17, 1998

The Cannons are making the most noise early in the Senior American Legion baseball season.

Derek Wohlers pitched a three-hitter and benefited from a pair of three-run homers Tuesday as the Cannons (4-1) defeated the Bandits 12-3 in five innings at Gonzaga University.

Chris Hilsabeck homered in the second and Shae Lanphere homered in the third for the Cannons, who have opened a 1-1/2-game lead over the Bandits (2-2) and two other teams.
