sports McLaran’s bat lifts Ducks By UUUU LCVT Of the Emerald Substitute Mike McLaran’s two-out double in the 10th in ning scored Steve Crum for the winning run in Oregon’s 7-6 victory over Oregon College of Education Wednesday at Howe Field. McLaran was one of six replacements inserted into the lineup in the fifth inning by coach Mel Krause, whose strategy of keeping everyone fresh paid off. “In a game like this, my primary goal is to play ever ybody and keep everyone in condition. It's also an evaluation process. If I go with one guy for five innings and another for four, it gives the second guy a chance to play under pressure,” said Krause. The Ducks showed their need to improve their play in pressure situations as they committed two errors, made mental mistakes on the bases and were guilty of a few other misplays. As has been its custom of late, Oregon took a quick lead in the game with two runs in the first two innings. Dean Hummel’s RBI single gave the Ducks a 1-0 lead after one frame and Rick Moonitz singled in Kirk Camer on to make it 2-0 after two. Again, the Ducks stayed with their normal pattern, allowing the Wolves to close within 2-1 and eventually gain a 5-2 lead with a four-run fifth inning. The fifth was an inning Oregon pitcher Dan King would rather forget. OCE opened it with a double by Harold Lafountain which fell between Crum and McLaran. Ernie Delgado then smacked a Emerald photo Mike McLaran's 10th-inning double powered Oregon past OCE two-run homer and the Wolves followed with three more line drive hits. King looked as though he’d never get out of the inning until a batter's interfer ence call helped him escape further damage. Oregon answered the OCE uprising with a three-run fifth of its own. OCE hurlers Dana Salsbury and Bob McCue took most of the responsibility for the scoring by combining for three walks, a hit batter and a wild pitch. The Ducks took a 6-5 lead in the sixth when Mike Black dou bled, stole third and scored on McCue's second wild pitch. However, OCE tied it once more in the ninth, thanks to two Oregon errors and a bad throw by Mike Carr on an attempted pickoff at second base. At this point, the Wolves had the bases loaded and no one out. But reliever Jim Givens got out of the jam when Mike Hut zler hit into a home-to-first dou ble play and Rich Miller grounded out. Next came McLaran’s clutch double, and Givens (3-2) had himself a victory.
