voighthander. hurled three hit
*4*a!l for the first five innings.
and Trent Huls, a lefthanded
i transfer from San Bernardino
*JC, -allowed nary a hit during the
:Hast four frames.
The contest .opened as a pitch
ing duel between leftie Ray
Hyde of Lewis and Clark and
Blodgett. In the bottom of the
second Oregon catcher Earl Av
cril! connected on a fast ball
and sent a line drive over the
center fielder’s head for a home
Tun. That was the only run
scored off Hyde in the five in
nings he worked.
Blodgett was in trouble twice
• during his five frame stint. In the
■ top of the third, centerfielder Gary
■Jackson sent a double to left field
■ advancing Ron Kiel, who was on
j first to third. The rally was
-squelched as Dave Daniels, third
t baseman, ended the inning with a
itngh fly to right.
Hyde Single
Hyde singled with one down in
the fifth, and when Kiel laid down
a bunt both were safe on a field
er's choice. Jackson sacrificed
i them on another base, but Daniels
again ended the inning, grounding
--out short to first.
During his stint. Huls drifted
along without any trouble. Two
-■deep flys were hit off him, but Jim
♦tfivesay in center field made
* sparkling catches of each of them
4-to keep the leftie out of trouble.
} Huls struck out five and Blodgett
>added three to make the combined
<*■ Oregon total eight for the con
* test.
The Oregon hitters had a
great day at the plate for their
first contest of the season. Aft
er Av$riU’s fourmaster play set
tled down and the Ducks failed
to dent the plate until the sixth .
-i inning.
At that point, with two out, Pete
Williams was hit by relief pitcher
—Charlie Bonando. Jim Johnson
♦then hit a grounder to deep short
♦•that went for a base hit. An at
tempted double steal resulted in
* Johnson being run down between
*£irst - and second, and Williams
•acorel from third in the confusion.
THie Webfoots’ big inning at the
^filate came in the bottom of the
•seventh when a barrage of five
.singles, aided by three walks, pro
duced five runs. Oregon sent eleven
**»ert to the plate during the frame
r«jnd, two Pioneer chuckers were
•♦sent to the showers before the fire
'put out. Base hits in the in-'

v»<;hl!ected two safeties. Earl Av

home run.

o'clock, and a doubleheader may be
staged if the weather is good.
