Bud Craig then beat out an infield hit and Rod Province, attempting, to bunt,, forced Hen drie at third. Bud McKinney fol lowed through with a line single to right, however, and when Zoll per let, it get .through -him, Mc Kinney wound up on third with two tallies ; in. Warren Valdez skied to left to halt the threat momentarily, but then White err ed again on Russell's hopper and McKinney counted.

Three walks from the tiring Salem server and a single by Joe Brown did it An other tally came in the seventh on a walk and a hit by Percy Coulson. ' Salem finally maneuvered the bases correctly in the sixth for a single counter, Roger Dasch slam ming a towering double to center to drive it in. The .C-Ps got an other in the eighth on Valdei sharp single to left which got by Owens for three bases, Valdez then romping in on a passed balL Carroll Called In Silverton threatened right down to the end and scored in the eighth to send Province out and bring on Joe "Cowboy" Carroll. He entered with the sacks jam med and one down, but escaped when his mates turned in their second double play of the game, Hendrie to Dasch to Dalke, on Schaap's grounder. Province was touched for only two hits up until the sixth, the same amount Owens doled until the same frame. Sparkling infield play by Salem erased early-game wildness by Province and Rag gedy-Ann base-running by the anxious Salems pulled Owens out of his tight spots. In all, the Salems bashed 10 as sorted hits, a real surprise, and Silverton connected for eight Had it not been for the Silverton er rors, six of same, the Salem bin gles might well have gone to pot, however.
