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.
