BROOKINGS-HARBOR PILOT, BROOKINGS. OREGON THURSDAY. JULY 7, 1949 Brookings Won Pair Of Games During Holiday Week-end Brookings Pelicans entertained the Lily Blossom Time visitors, Sunday and Monday, with two v ins, first from Merlin, whom the Pelicans had beaten twice before this year, and Gold Beach, Mon day afternoon. Strangely enough, the scores were almost the same. With Merlin short two players, Mendenhall and Brunk played for the visitors, Mendenhall behind the plate and Brunk at second. Brookings got under way in her first inning by chasing over four runs, annexed another in the sec ond, and another in the fourth. Loose support for Don Ackley in the third let Merlin spike the plate for three, and again in the fourth. The seventh inning was saved for the fireworks. Merlin added three more, but Brookings blasted the works in her half for seven.

Matson, in six trips to the plate, amassed six hits and six runs, which were made up ot two singles, two triples, a dou ble and a home run. Bob Aston, pitching for Gold Beach, and picked as the out standing prep baseball player in 1948, led Gold Beach hit parade, with three hits in four trips, but his effort availed little due to the weak support given him. Westbrook, on the other hand, gave up but nine hits to Gold Beach, but his wildness in the third inning was almost his un doing. He hit\ the first two bats men to face him, walked the third and hit the fourth. After one of these was nipped trying to steal, he permitted the first score on a wild pitch. Two singles by Ken Curry and Jerry Fendrick gave the visitors four runs. Until the eighth, Westbrook was almost miserly with his base knocks at times when they would have been good for runs. His support was sparkling at all times. Gold Beach Smothered Gold Beach ab r h po a e Lafferty, ss ....... 3 10 111 E. Fendrick, lb 4 1 1 10 1 0 Curry, 3b ......... 5 12 10 1 J.
