Indians Drop Millers In District ener -Inning Beamer Drives In 7th-l Run In 3-2 Win . First baseman Ron Beamer was the batting hero of the day as he pounded out a 3-1 pitch to right center, driving in pitcher Jerry Droscher who had walked, with the- winning run in the bottom of the seventh, to give Coach Don uu.tn t.i: o iiiiiLu a luuiaii new it win over defending league champion Spring field, opening District 5-A-l League play Friday here. ' It was a pitchers' battle most of the way. Losing pitcher Dave Es gate had the better of the dual, al though, -he was hit hard on sever al occasions, allowing five hits over the route. Jerry Droscher, on the mound for the Indians, was in constant trouble as he was unable to find the plate with consistent regularity, issuing twelve free passes w h i le giving up one Jiit, that a rousing triple to left center off the bat of Vern Norris in the top of the sixth with one mate aboard. This left the Millers with a runner on third and two acts. Coach White, playing safe, call ed in fireman Bill (Lefty) Oerding from his centcrfield position to quelch the Miller uprising. Oerding Douses Fire Fireman Bill came through in "superb fashion getting the left-handed cleanup batter Dwight Scrog gins to swing at a let-up pitch and go down swinging to retire the side. Droscher came back to the mound in the last inning to gain credit for the win. Roseburg lost little time in dent ing the plate as it scored a single run in the first inning when third baseman Al Lindbloom laced out a terrific triple to left and stole home on the next pitch. Droscher has himself to blame for the first Springfield run when he lost control in the second and walked four straight batters. Roseburg tallied their second run in the fourth as Oerding tagged a line drive single to right center that took a nasty hop over the cen ter fielder's head, allowing Oerd ing to scoot all the way around. Millers Tie Score Springfield countered once more in the top of the sixth with a sin gle run, tying the score. Esgate drew a base on balls and scored when Norris lined out his long triple. This set the stage for Beamer's game winning blow to right center after Esgate had issued his only walk of the game to Droscher. Droscher struck out six batters while Esgate was striking out five. Both teams played errorless ball. . Next Tuesday's league action will have Eugene at Roseburg and Springfield at Cottage Grove.
