Creighton Pitches Two-Hit Shutout Victory Bearcat Nine Falls Before Duck Flinger In Third Straight, 6-0 By ELBERT HAWKINS Willamette won’t be claimin ga state title this year. California’s sole contribution to Oregon baseball, Burly Bob Creighton, settled that by shutting out Spec Keene’s Bearcats, 6 to 0, with a flawless, two-hit pitching performance yesterday on Howe field. It was Oregon’s third straight win of the season over Willamette. Creighton proved himself a worthy successor to Fireball Bill Sayles, sophomore ace of last season, by dazzling the Bearcats for nine complete innings. Just four of Spec’s boys reached first, none on walks, and two of them were later picked off. The iDuck righthander faced only 29 batters. Scratch Hits Willamette’s two hits could both go in the scratch category. Num ber one, by Johnny Oravec in the fourth, was a blooper just dyer second base, coming off the handle of a broken bat. First Baseman Rex Pierce got the other blow in the eighth on a high fly to left field which Bob Smith was slow in handling. It went for a single. Victory wras especially sweet for the Webfoots as it gave them a ,clear edge in the annual four-game series which ends in Salem today. In ’36 and ’37 the Bearcats nosed out Oregon when Hobby was sav ing his best for northern division gam.es, claiming the state colle giate title. Yesterday Bob Creigh ton quelled any similar future vis ions of Spec’s proteges. Creighton had beautiful support from his mates in turning the trick, both afield and at bat. Game-wrecker Wimpy Quinn strode to the plate in the first inn ing with Ford Mullen and Jack Coleman on base and whacked another home run into center. The hit was a ground ball, a single ordinarily, but went for a homer when Oravec and Hagedorn couldn’t decide whose ball it was. Quinn drew two walks after that from Pitcher Bob White. Oregon added two more runs in the second inning, one on Jimmie Nicholson’s single to center and an error, but from then on reached White and his successor, Francis Gatchell for only six scattered hits and a lone run. Creighton waded through the Willamette batting order like a Kansas cyclone, using his curve effectively. He faced only three ,men an inning to the end except in the fourth. Only four pitches were needed in the first frame. Hagedorn led off in Willamette’s ,half of the fourth with a hard-hit ball which Jack Gordon failed to handle. Ragsdale forced him out, Quinn to Coleman, but “Scooter” Oravec then came through with his fluke. Ragsdale reached third on iShinn’s out, but Creighton whiffed (Third Sacker Kolb to end the inn ing. Kolb was struck out three times by Creighton and in every appear ance at the plate never lifted the bat off his shoulder. Creighton struck out five Willamette batters. Ford Mullen led Oregon hitters with three for four, and Jack Cole man and Creighton each got two blows in four trips up. Quinn got one out of two.
