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.
