Still Batting .700--Beverly Harmon, 11-year old player on the English Little League baseball team, wears an anguished expression as she watches the opposing pitcher in yesterday’s game. She hit a double, walked once, and struck out the third time but it didn’t change her current batting average, a whopping 700. The game was a scheduled practice with Spring Valley.

Title (alt.):
Beverly Harmon. Beverly Harmony was right-she finally cooled off at home plate. The 11-year-old girl, who has a batting average, played Tues smashed out a double, once, and struck out the time. it won’t count in the Little League record books because the game with Spring Valley was a practice session. The English team gets back into competition Thursday night and its feminine slugger hopes to do better. “That Spring Valley pitcher threw the hardest of anybody I’ve ever seen,” said Beverly, a modest young lady with a pleasing smile and a face dotter with freckles. “I still think I’m hitting a little over my head.” The team doesn’t agree. Her talents have pulled English up with the leaders in the Tri-County Little League and she’s well on her way to the batting crown. In five official games, Beverly has collected seven hits, batted in six runs, and scored four. Under rules of the National Organization for Franchised Little Leagues, Beverly couldn’t play but the Tri-City County loop is not a franchised league. “Thank heavens for that,” said Doc Keyser, who manages the English squad, “I’d like to have a few more girls like Beverly.” She has played nearly every position in two seasons in the league.
