THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1950 3RCOKINGS-HARBQR PILOT, BROOKINGS, OREGON Pelicans Nosed Out In Tenth, Sun., As Merchants Come From Behind, 10 to 9 M Brookings Pelicans lost a wild and wooly ball game to Crescent City Merchants by a 10 to 9 {al ley, Sunday, as the Merchants were handed four gift runs in the bottom of the 10th, all forced across the plate on six bases on balls, a hit batsman and an er ror. The Pelicans had previously come through with three runs in their half of the tenth, to all intents and purposes putting the game on ice but for the extreme wildness on the part of three Pelican hurlers again proved the old adage that a ball game is never over until the last man is I out. The game started as a real putchers’ duel between Bob As- tin of the Pelicans and Selsor of the Merchants. Crescent City scored in the first inning on a fluke home run to center just out of reach of centerfielder McLean. They added another in the fifth — also a home of the tainted va riety which seemed like a single over second baseman Holzgang’s head which rolled wet ween Mc Lean and Finnell. Selsor had meanwhile present ed the Pelicans with a string of goose-eggs. He, however, also de veloped wildness in the sixth an 1 forced in the first Brookings run on a combination of a two-base hit, and three walks The third of three Merchants double play» again broke up what looked like a big Pelican scoring opportuii- ity at that time. The Merchants came back with two runs in the sixth to lead 4 to 1 but the Pelicans retaliated in the seventh with three to tie the score and then went ahead 6 to 4 in the eighth. This was short-lived as the Merchants tied it up again with a brace of runs in their half. It was in this in ning that Pitcher Astin slipped in fielding a bunt and injured his side. This was, no doubt, the turning point of the game, as an out on that play would even tually have retired the side sans a run. It also proved to be As tin’s undoing as he soon devel oped a wild streak, bringing in Dick Salvage to relieve him. Both teams went scoreless in the ninth, setting the stage for the aforementioned wierd tenth inning. The loss threw the Peli- <Cans in a three-way tie with the Ashland and Crescent City ag gregations for fourth spot in the league standings, each having won five and lost five. Roseburg Here Sunday Roseburg, loser in only one league game this season, comes to Brookings for a double header (both league games) next Siin day. The first game starts at 1 p. m. at the local field. Business Manager Pete Les- meister signed three new players ever the week-end. Veteran pro fessional catcher, Tex Chandler and Bob Fasel, shortstop, both played in the Crescent City game. Floyd Shotwell, a right-handed pitcher from Medford and Eu gene in the Far West league earlier this season, will be on hand next Sunday to pitch one of the games against Roseburg.
