Thuikday night as the Portland
Beavers defeated the Indians J-l
in the opening game of a Pacilic
Coast League series and climbed
back into third place in League
standings.
The victory was Johnson's 10th
of the seasu.n against five losses
and the loser was Connie Grob.

seventh inning by scoring two
ru:ft to break a 1-1 deadlock. Mill
Graff started the winning Beaver
rally with a double to right cen
terfold. Gralf scored on a single
by Charlie Seerest. Secrest came
across with the second run on a
throwing error on a ball hit by
Jim Greergrass.
S;.okane opened the scoring in
the third inning when Grob, who
had walked went to second on a
sacrifice bunt by Tommy Davis
a'td to third on a passed ball and
then sco-cd when Tony Roig hit
a sacrilice fly.
The Beavers evened the score
in the bottom of the sixth when
Freese singled to left, advanced
to secor.d on Nim Tornay s sacri
fice, went to third on a force out
and scored when Roig threw the
hall away attempting to get Dave
Melton al iirst.
The Sacramento Soluns appar
ently aren t going to let the lack
of a power hitter keep them out
of first place in the Pocific Coast
League.
The Solor.s, who have recently
shown signs of fading out of the
pennant picture, displayed some
unmistakable earmarks of a flag
winner Thu.sday night.
Itiey cooled off the red-hot Salt
Lake City Bees. 4-2. as Joe Slan
ka nailed down his Uih win of the
season, lie got relief help from
Terry Fox. the Sacs' ace bull-pen-ner
u ho has a 7-0 season record.
The win kept the Solons a game
and a half ahead of the second
place Vancouver Mounties, who
nipped Seattle 1-0. Other games
saw Phoenix take San Diego, 1
Still Searching
Sacramento's front office is still
searching for a big hitter to bol
ster the Sacs down the stretch
Meanwhile, they will have to be
content with getting by with their
good pitching in a league that is
void of soft touches.
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 relay to first
was not in time however, and the
hustling Shetrone roared all the
way home with the clincher.
' Benny Valenzuela hit two home
runs to lead Phoenix to its win
over San Diego. The first came
in the fifth and the second in the
seventh with none on. Marshall
Renfroe got the win.
