SHARKS   7    HAWKS   2

Shades of Gettysburg – General Robert E. Lee leads his troops with the trick!  Steve “Barney Miller” Dietrich with the deuce.  Singles for Eddie “The Eagle” Higgins(Also 3 Helpers) and Mary Sell.  Jeff “Dick” Tracy and Kenny Perko with the Hawks markers in this penalty free game.
