Action fast and furious
as Ducks split twin bill
By JOHN ANDERSON
Of the Emerald
Jim Van Wyck’s sixth-inning
double capped a four-run Ore
gon rally at Howe Field Mon
day, as the Ducks snapped a
seven-game losing streak and
handed visiting California a 4-3
loss in the opening game of a
Pacific-8 doubleheader.
Cal came back in the second
game fiasco to claim a 10-9 win
in what was probably the wild
est college game on the Pacific
Coast this year.
The Bears scored three un
earned runs off Oregon starter
and winner Fred Cardwell, now
4-3, in the fourth inning of the
first game. Two walks and a
dropped fly ball by usually re
liable Phil Bushman loaded the
bases with one o u t. Losing
pitcher Bill Schofield launched
a two-run single up the middle,
then Dennis Dalton’s fielder’s
choice brought home the in
ning’s third run.
But the Ducks, who left only
one runner on base through the
first five innings, put together
four hits in the sixth to take the
win.
Webfoots rally
A walk to pinch-hitter Dave
Johnson and single by Earle
Wicklund put men at first and
third with one out. Bushman,
who had four hits in the double
header to raise his Pacific-8 bat
ting average to .407, hit a high
bouncer to the pitcher’s mound,
and Schofield’s throw to first
was too late to get the Duck
speedster flying down the line.
Then, with two out, Colby Howe
drilled a two-run single to cen
ter. A stolen base by pinch
runner Bob Main and intention
al walk to Bill Lawrence set the
stage for Van Wyck's game
winning double.
Gary Schutz set the Bears
down in order in the seventh
to save the win for Cardwell.
The second contest was a
seorekeeper’s nightmare. There
The Oregon Ducks close their
current six-game home stand
against the California Pacific-8
teams today with a 1:30 p.m.
single game against Stanford at
Howe Field. Jon Wheeler (5-2)
is scheduled to be on the mound
for the Ducks.
Stanford, still tied for the
lead in Pacific-8 play with a
13-4 mark, is paced by All-Amer
ican first baseman Mark Mar
quess, outfielder Jack Hodges,
and third baseman-pitcher Bob
Boone. Boone or Rod Poteete is
the Indians’ probable pitcher to
day.
were four ties and five lead
changes in a clash that saw 19
runs, 25 hits, six errors, 21
bases on balls, four home runs,
five other extra base hits, 24
runners left on base, and in
numerable costly Oregon base
running errors.
The Ducks picked up a first
inning tally when Cal starter
Greg Tellis balked, after a
ground rule double by Bushman
spaced between two walks had
loaded the bases. Dave Tex
dahl's solo homer tied the game
in the second, and Cal jumped
ahead in the third on a two-out
error and Jim Corcoran’s triple.
Ducks bounce back
But Oregon staged a two-out
third-inning rally to leap ahead
4-2 and drive Tellis from the
mound. Singles by Van Wyck
and Bob Ossey, two Cal errors,
a double by Dave Dingman and
a single by pinch-hitter Larry
Hand provided the scoring. In
the fourth, a walk to Bushman,
stolen base and Gary Nall's
single gave Oregon a three-run
edge.
Cal came back, scoring and
loading the bases against relief
pitcher Schutz with a single and
three walks. Fred Massar re
placed Schutz on the mound,
immediately dealt up a grand
slam homer to Wayne Burd, and
the Ducks found themselves
trailing 7-5.
A fifth-inning single by Wick
lund brought Oregon a run
closer, then the Webfots jump
ed ahead 8-7 in the seventh fol
lowing singles by Bushman and
Howe.
But Van Wyck, Oregon’s fifth
pitcher, ran into trouble in the
ninth after blanking the Bears
in the three previous innings.
Burd hit a one out homer to
tie the game, and shortstop Den
nis Dalton, an eighth-inning re
placement, got a hold of a Van
Wyck pitch with two outs and
drove in two runs with the sec
ond homer of his life.
Oregon wasn’t giving up yet.
With two out irr the ninth, Rog
er Schiewe walked and Howe
tripled to center. But first game
losing pitcher Bill Schofield
came out of the bullpen to get
the final out.
Oregon, which outhit Cal 16
9, had at least one hit every
inning but left 14 runners on
base.
Cal is now 30-16 overall and
11-7 in conference. The Ducks,
despite the split, are assured
of a winning season. They are
21-17, 7-11 in Pacific-8 play.
