REMEMBER WHEN By KON BI EL, Emerald Sports Writer Remember the date. May 21, 1957? This was the clay the Oregon W ebfoots clinched the Northern Div ision 1 baseball Championships by playing Seattle University. The Don Kirsch managed Ducks finally dropped the Chieftans 1-0 after collecting 17 hits in 14 innings. The Kirschmen left a total of 15 men on base in the first 15 inn'ings. It all started in the bottom of the first when the Duck’s Piflier walked, Maddox singled and Pingree got on with an erroj:. Hut the Seattle pitcher bore down and struck out Ellis Olson and Jerry Urness, to retire the side. Opening inning sets trend This seemed to set a trend because again in the second the Ducks threatened. Ron W hittaker singled and all-northern division outfielder W imp Hastings doubled. Neither could score. In the third, the Ducks once more loaded the bags only to have one of Seattle's three double plays end the inning. Every inning after this, with the exception of the 13th, the Ducks had a man on base but could not find the RBI power to drive him in. Duck hurlers tough However, the Duck’s superb pitching, one of the main fac tors that had put them in the lead in the Northern Division race, kept them in the ball game. Kirsch used five hurlers in the long contest and only two or three times were the Chieftans close to scoring. Ron Whittaker. Rollie Heath, Don Lane, and Stan Domo chovsky each worked three innings, giving up between them a total of six safeties. Domochowsky quelled the only serious trouble, when in the eighth inning he picked two men off base. As the game began to drag into extra innings, the rain began to fall, harder and harder. Not a fan left his seat though, as the exciting Ducks threatened all the time. Chieftans threaten Finally, in the top of the 14th inning the Chieftans began to make some hay. Pennington doubled off Webfoot third baseman Jim Pifher’s glove. Michaelson then hit the ball deep into right field for a hit. Urness picked up the ball and rifled it straight to the plate where Olson'tagged Penning ton in an extremely close call. With a runner on first and two men out, hurler Dennv Olsen gave two intentional walks to fill the bases. The threat was ended when catcher Doug Orr flew out to Terry Maddox in left. The Webfoots came up in their half of the inning looking for blood. Wimp Hastings got on with a bunt single. Pifher then followed with another bunt which the third-baseman handled badly, leaving men on first and second. Maddox and Pingree then flew out to left field. Ellis Olson walked calmly up to the plate and stroked a clean single to left, scoring Hastings and winning the game, 1-0. How was it clinched? The question still remains as to how the Ducks could clinch the Northern Division title playing Seattle, a team that is not even in the league. It’s very simple. On the same day, Washington University defeated Oregon State twice, knocking the second place Beavers out of the title and mathematically clinching it for the Ducks. The final standings in the XD showed the league-leading Kirschmen with a 11-3 record. Far behind in second place were the Huskies with a 8-7 total. The Beavers were at 8-8, the Idaho Vandals were at 5-8, and Washington State brought up the tail end with a 5-11 record. The Ducks were dropped however by California in the Pacific Coast Conference championship playoffs. SHISLER'S FOOD MARKET OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK—9 A.M. to 11 P.M.
