Senators Rap
Oregon Twice
The Salem Senators outlasted
Oregon’s Ducks Saturday after
noon In a baseball slugfest to score
a 14-12 win over the Webfoots. It
was the second straight win for
the Senators over the Ducks who
they downed in Salem Friday aft
ernoon by a 4-1 score.
Salem seemed to have the game
in the bag going into the bottom
half of the sixth inning on Satur-!
day w.th a 11-4 lead. But the’
Kirschmen went on a batting ram-!
page with two Ttun out to score
eight runs and go ahead by a 12-11
count. Leading blows- for the!
Ducks in th< ir bitting barrage j
were n home run by Bernle Averil],
a triple and a single by Jerry Boss l
and a double by Dick Hchlnsstein. j
The Webfoots failed to hold this1
lead, however, as the Senators;
came back to tally three markers j
off the pitching slants Of reserve '
chuckcr Ted Overton to score the
win.
In the Friday game the two!
teams played u much tighter game,
with the Senators' Jack Hemphill i
hooking up In a pitching duel with
tho Ducks’ Bill Garner and Bill 1
Blodgett. The Webfoots could only
manage six hits off Hemphill and j
they were all singles.
In the two game series Kirsch j
obviously was experimenting with i
different player combination- and
was wiving his two best pitchers, j
Norm Forties and Trenton Hals,
for the Washington series Monday j
and Tuesday afternoons.

OSC Rooks Defeat
Duckling Nine, 7-5
The Oregon Fro.ch bah*:ball team
rallied for three runs in the bot
tom of the ninth inning last Fri
day but their effort wasn't quite
enough to pull the Ducklings back
in the ball game and Ray Coley’s
nine went down to a 7-5 defeat
at the hands of the Oregon State
Rooks.
Syl Johnson of the Rooks
seemed to have everything under
control going into the ninth with
a 7-1 lead but the Frosh wouldn't
give up that easy.
Doubles by Terry Maddox and
Sam Notos and a single by Jack
McClenahan plus a couple of costly
Rook errors paved the way for the
last inning Oregon rally. The spree
was stopped by relief pitcher Red
Pearce who struck out Jim Davis
with two on to end the ball game.
Terry Maddox, although touched
for 14 hits by the Rooks, pitched
pretty good ball for the Ducklings.
Many of the OSC hits were of the
scratch variety. Maddox struck out
five visiting batters.
For the Ducklings the loss was
their first in five starts.
The next action for Ray Coley’s
nine comes next Thursday after
noon when they host the McChord
Air Force base on the Fro h dia
mond in a 3 o’clock tussle. On Fri
day the Ducklings travel to Cor
vallis for a return game with the
Rooks*
