Duckt Load Bases
Right-fielder Bob Wagner start
ed the fourth with sharp single to
center. First-baseman Dick Schlos
stein followed this up with an
other one-baser down the left
field line and when thlrd-sacker
Pete Williams beat out a bunt,
the Ducks had the bases loaded
with no one out. *
Then is when the fireworks be
gan. Guidotti settled down con
siderably in his hurling and forced
Jimmy Johnson to hit a weak roll
er to third base. Irv Heinrich
fielded the ball cleanjy for the
Beavers and threw it home in
hopes of nipping Wagner at the
plate. But catcher Jack* Stephen
son let the ball get away from
him and Wagner scored unmolest

Wild Throw
Stephenson chased down the hall
and appeared to have Schlossteln
trapped, what with only a short1
throw to Heinrich, covering home,
to make. But the little Beaver!
[catcher threw the ball over Hein-j
i ich s head and Schlosstein crossed !
the dish with the second Duck run I
and Williams followed him in with
th« third and tying marker.
All in all, Stephenson picked up |
two errors on the play and Oregon
scored three unearned runs.
After this few wild minutes of
action the game settled flown I
somewhat. But not for long. After:
Guldotti had fanned Neil Marlett
tor the first out of the frame and
forced pitcher Bill Blodgett to
roll out for the second, Heinrich
muffed George Shaw's grounder J
and Johnson scored from second
base. This put the Ducks ahead
4-3 and they never relinquished the
lead.
The final Oregon counter came!
in the fifth inning when Marlett's i
long single to center scored John-!
son all the way from first base.
Oregon .State scored their three
run* in three consecutive innings,
the second, third* and fourth. Dick
Isbell's base knock in the second
frame brought in Chuck Kisk from
second with the initial marker of i

Pitching duties for the winning
Ducks were divided between Blod
gett and southpaw flinger, Tren
ton Hulls. Blodgett received credit
for the victory after hurling the
first five innings. He gave up all
five of the OSC hits and all of
the runs.
Hull Pitches Well
Hulls, who came on in the sixth
inning, shut the Beavers out the
rf'Ht of the way without a hit or ■
a run. Although he walked several!
men, Hulls seemed to have com
plete mastery over the OSC bat- .
ters as far as hitting was con
cerned.
Longest hit of the day for the
Ducks was delivered by Shaw in
the very first inning. He pounded
i long triple over the right-field- i
