The Sacs took advantage of sev eral breaks Thursday night in win-1 ning. A pair of wild pitches and an error by losing pitcher Joe Francis gave them their first two runs. Stanka aided his own cause with a pair of nin scoring singles. Fred Besana kept Vancouver close on the hels of Sacramento as he hurled a two hitter against Seattle. Claude Osteen, the laser, allowed eight hits and struck out 14. - ' ' ' The lone tally came in the ninth after Barry Shetrone was hit by a pitch with one out.' Marv Breed ind walked and Joe F r a t i e r grounded to second, forcing Breeding for the Mart of a double play attempt.

The first came in the fifth and the second in the seventh with none on. Marshall Renfroe got the win.
