Webfoots Level Huskies3-2
Lefthander Day Pitches Third
Loop Win; Series Stands Even
A costly balk by Husky hurler A1 Goot, in the seventh inn
ing with Oregon Dick Burns on third, enabled the Webfoots
to edge Washington 3-2 yesterday, giving Howard Hobson's
team a split in the two-game northern division series.
It was the Duck’s reliable left-hander John Day who turned
in the mound victory, his third in as many starts, which put
Oregon into second slot in the league standings, a game behind
the Washington State Cougars.
Both hurlers, after shaky starts,
settled down, the game being tied
2-all after the fourth frame. The
winning run scored by the locals
was unearned, as 'the pitchers al
lowed only five hits in the last four
and one-half innings.
Lacking his usual control at the
outset, Day got into a jam in the
first inning after he retired the
first two batters. Jelly Anderson
got a single, and both Sammy
White and Boody Gilburtson
walked to load the bases.
Day then cut his high, hard one
loose and fanned Kay Chorlton to
retire the side. The Huskies were
determined, however, to break into
the scoring column in the next
fiame.
coo raie, nrsi up, walked, and
Oregon shortstop At Cohen booted
Frank Constantino’s double-play
ball to put runners on first and sec
ond. Goot laid down a sacrifice ad
vancing the men to scoring position.
When Bill Taylor popped in
front of the plate to Roy Carlson
for the second out, it looked like
Day might squeeze out of the
hole. Dos Churouhas was inten
tionally passed, hut the strategy
h a ckfi r e d when Anderson
smashed his second straight sin
gle to left field, putting in the two
Washington runs.
Dangerous Sammy White was
walked for the second intentional
base on balls of the inning, but Gil
burtson flied to Tony Crish in right
field to snuff the rally, leaving the
bags clogged.
Oregon came back in the bottom
half of the stanza with a loner,
making the score 2-1. After two
were gone, Carlson hit the long,
high double just inside the left field
foul line, and Bartle promptly bat
ted him across with a screaming
single a foot past Goot's out
stretched glove.
In the fourth, the Duck bats
n ally came to life, Crish knocking
a one-baser past second. John Ko
vonz followed with another hot sin-‘
gle just out of reach of the Wash
ington first sacker, Crish moving to
third.
Carlson kept the surge alive
with a one-base blow just inside
first base, Crish scoring to tie the
count 2-2, and Kovcn/, moving to
third with none out. Itartle
grounded out via third base, CaVli
son moving to second, Wohlers,
hatting for Cohen, was intention
ally passed, and Day whiffed, and
Walt Kirsch bounced out to end
llic inning.
As in the final Washington State
contest, it was the seventh inning
which spelled victory for the Web
foots. With one down, Dick Burns
hit a hot bouncer off Boot's glove,
and when the Washington pitcher
tossed wildly to first, Burns went
to second on the two-base error.
Midi Santee received a political
walk, C'risli forcing him at sec
ond and Burns moving to third.
Boot went into his stretch,
watching Crish take his lead off,
thinking that the Duck Outfielder
was going down, Goot wheeled to
tlirow to first but nobody was
covering. Bather than throw the
ball away, he held on to it, balk
ing in the decisive tally.
Washington made a belated rally
in 'the eighth, with White, the first
hitter, singling sharply to right
field ,and promptly stealing second.
Gilburtson skied out to Crish,
and after Bartle took Charleton’s
towering foul in short right, White
moved on to third. Day bore down
and whiffed pinchhitter Jim Chorl
ton on three straight pitches to re
tire the Huskies.
Carlson paced the Webfoots at
the plate with two hits, one a dou
ble, while Anderson with three sin
gles and Goot with two, accounted
for five of the six Washington hits,
the loss was the first of the season
for the lanky Washington hurler in
three starts.
