Idaho starter Wayne Patrick
v.as setting the home crew down in
1 consistent fashion until the big
| fifth inning outburst, when four
Oregon hits, including Ron Phillips’
four master, three errors and one
walk put the Webfoots out front
for good.
George Shaw, center fielder, op
ened the batting barrage with a
single to left. After Don Siegmund
had flyed to center field, Earl Av
erill was safe on an infield error.
Phillips then proceeded to
bounce u long 370 foot drive over
the left field bank to clear the
base paths of his two Oregon
mates. It was his first homer of
the year.
Bernie Averill kept the rally go
ing with a scratch hit to the in
field; and two batters later he
moved to third on Norm Forbes’
single to center.
Double Steal
With a man on first and third,
the Ducks tried a double steal with
Averill scoring on a wild throw
from sceond to the plate. Forbes
crossed the plate on the next play,
when Idaho shortstop Mike Cygler
muffed Jim Johnson’s grounder.
Oregon's other three tallies were
scored in the third, fourth and
eighth frames.
In the bottom of the third Live
say beat out an infield blow and
I
moved t.o third on Shaw’s single to
center. The Oregon center fielder
scored the winners' first run when
the next batter, Siegmund, lofted
out.
Pete Williams started the run
production In the following
frame by tripling down the left
field line. Pitcher Norm Forbes
brought in the runner with a
sharp one-bagger to right.
Oregon’s last tally came in the
eighth when another triple, this
one by Shaw, put a Duck on third
with no one out. Shaw almost
didn’t get in at first when Sieg
mund and then Averill meekly
grounded out. He would have died
on the base paths if Cyglers hadn’t
let Phillips' easy roller get past
him into left field.
Idaho bunched two of its scores
in the first, another in the fourth,
and the final two in the seventh.
The two in the initial frame were
the result of one single and a
couple of Oregon errors.
Falash Double
Bob Falash pounded out a double
and scored from second via a single
by Patrick. Fred Kleffner and Jer
ry Ogle tallied for the Vandals in
the seventh when one was safe on
a fielder’s choice, and the other
walked. Earl Huffman scored both
with a triple to center.
Shaw was the leading Oregon
batter with a triple and two
Webfool Thfnclads Test Vandals
Here Saturday in First ND Meet
The Oregon Webfoots and Idaho
Vandals renew a relatively young
track rivalry Saturday afternoon
to kick off the Northern Division
track season. It will be the first
test of strength for Bowerraan's
Duck cinderrnen.
Idaho will present a team that
is basically the same as the Web
foot's with a strong track squad
and a weak field team so the meet
should be very evenly matched. The
Vandals’ outstanding lettermen in
clude Emerson Clark and Lou
Gourlev, Distance; Pat Duffy,
Sprinter; Bob May, Half-miler;
and their all around one man team,
Bruce Sweeney.
The Ducks can match Idaho's
strong events and counter with
more depth. The Webfoot letter
men are A1 Martin, Wayne Reiser
and Fred Turner, Distance;
Jerry Mock, Sprinter; Doug
Clement and John Loftis and
Ted Anderson, Mid-distance; and
non-lettermen Bob Faucett, Dick
Zimmerman, Bruce Springbett,
and Bon Sogge in answer to
Sweeny
