Ducks Sweep Qougar Series!
Oregon Hitters
Pound Out 14-1
Opening Victory
By John Whitty
Four home runs combined with
the almost flawless hurling of Ore
gon pitcher Don Siegmund to give
the University of Oregon base
ball nine a 14-1 victory over the
hapless Cougars of Washington
State in the Duck's ND opener
Friday at Eugene.
The big Eugene left-hander
limited the men of Buck Bailey to
a mere six hits, scattered over
five innings, and gave up no earn
ed runs to the visitors.
Ducks Hlt Well
The only run scored by WSC
came in the first half of the eighth
inning, when Bill Mayberry
singled. Boucher reached first base
on Settecase s error, and Mayberry
scored a moment later as Bud
Boytz grounded into what would
have been the third out.
Four round-trippers added ex
citement to the one-sided contest,
as Ron Bottler and Siegmund each
clouted homers, and Earl Averill,
the Ducks' All-American slugger,
smashed two tremendous four
baggers.
Oregon picked up two runs in
the second half of the first frame
on a walk, a single, and Ron Bott- J
ler’s double.
teams. As the score mounted in
Oregon’s favor, Bailey's remarks
became less and less humorous.

freshman from Boise, Ida . w
suited up in the tenth Inning of

Coach Don Kirsch flashed an SOS
for a pinch runner, the third of
the inning.
Perfect Drag Hunt
He was the nineteenth Duck to
put in an appearance, but he full- -
ed to accomplish his mission in the
tenth or in the twelfth. Left
hander Hod Keough, the Cougar's
third chucker, bore down and
fanned Phil Settecasc and Pitcher
Stan Aune with the potential win
ning run on third in the tenth.
Johnson whiffed to open the
twelfth frame. But In the hoi«4^
half of the thirteenth, Norval ltlt-V

field and advanced to third on
George Shaw's drive drive to left
which was misjudged by Terry
Sparks. Shaw raeed to second on

Second baseman Daryle Nelson
!
who had been horse-collared in six
trips, was deliberately passed to
clog the sacks. With the infield
drawn up on the grass, Johnson
dragged a 15-foot hunt along the
first base line. First sacker Bob
Boucher picked up the ball on the
run and fired to catcher Ron
Koepcr, but Ritchey slid in ahead
of the throw.
Aune, the fourth of four Oregon
pitchers, was in hot water in t^c
top half of the panel. With one
down Koeper rammed a line single
to center for lys fourth safety in
six times at bat. Koeper was push
ed to second when short stop Jack
Hardman rapped to third base;
Karl Averill made a gloved-hand
stab of the ball and nipped Hard

Keough, the pitcher, lofted a

mound. Nobody called for it, but
Settecase, the first baseman, made
a beluted pass at it. The ball kick

time to toss to catcher Ron Bott

Koeper.
The Ducks were lucky; they
could have lost and they almost
did. It took a miraculous, four run
rally in the ninth to carry the
contest into overtime. Joe Sugura
led off with a sinking liner to left
center. Bottler walked and Averill
rapped a one-baser to left to chase
across .Sugura. Settecase was safe
on a fielder’s choice and Averill,
too, when Hardman hobbled Glen
