It kept the, Solons in first place In the WIL standings. i Nick yielded five hits .ind coasted in on the mirthful com bination of 13 Salem bingles, four fielding boobies by the Braves and at least another, half-dozen assorted mental miseues and bad breaks for Edo Vanni's cussables. 2t Out of 32 i , ; The win. No. 8 in the 10 second talf tries and the 28th in the last 32 outings for Hugh Luby's fan totie flock, was registered before 2,044 customers on Dana's Boot- ery "Group Night" ! Winning group, with 170 in at tendance, was the East Salem Lions Club. A check for $75, from ', Dana's Bootery, went to that or-: ganization. . j ; Now 3-2 up on the' Braves in the week-long series, the Senators will go after two metre 'victories tonight in the final doubleheader, starting at 6:30 o'clock. Jack Hemphill (12-4) and Dave Dahle (3-2) will oppose the Braves' Bob Snyder (9-6) and either Dale Bloom or Veteran Jess Dobernic. A Wacky One The most recent addition to the Senator splurge was an oft-wierd sortie that saw the Salems peck away at soft-tossing! Lefty Jim Hedgecock for six innings, build ing up a 3-0 lead, and then bid ding him good night! with a six run romp in the seventh. Right hander Kenny Michaelson reliev ed the southpaw in the wild sev enth. In no really serious trouble, ex cept in the third inning when the enemy loaded the bases, Nicholas had a two-hitter through seven heats. A walk to Bob MeGuire, Vic Buccola's run-producing dou ble to right and "a later ground out by Jack Warren, scoring Buc cola, amounted to the Braves' scoring. j The Senators, at times playing almost as pourous as the T-City troupe, scored once in the second inning, an almost- unbelievable stanza. There were j four walks and two singles in the inning,, yet only one run. A pickoff play at first base and a floperoo of a double steal attempt made it pos sible. It was Nicholas himself who smacked in the run, lining a sin gle to right with the bases full Boot Helps Ont Salem got another in the fifth on Nicholas' infield hit, a force play, Luby's single and a throw ing error by Shortstop Terry Car roll during a double play try on Gene Tanselli's roller. Another . error, by Hedgecock himself, amounted to the third run in the sixth after Jerry Bal lard had walked and Les Wither spoon had singled to; center. A boot by Warren at third, smack in the midst of three bases on balls and four singles, was a big factor in the six-run outburst Ballard Hits Clock There was nothing phoney about the final Salem run in the eighth . off Michaelson, however. He walked Jim Deyo with one out, and huge Ballard followed up with a tremendous clout that struck the clock on the Coca Cola ad above the center, field walL Had the ball been six feet to the left it would have! conked the scoreboard, and hard. It was a wallop befitting Jerry's enormous size, and it wound np a run-producing double. Witherspoon picked np a cramped leg while running ont a fly ball in the fourth, bat stayed in the lineup. ... Vannl kept moaning aboat Nicholas throwing illegal pitches (rub bing the ball on his -uniform before throwing), bat Nick got even with the noisy Edo by get ting him to fly out harmlessly as a pinch-hitter in the ninth, ... Nicholas colored the dan- , gerous Warren in four trips. Jack failing te get one oat of the infield. He foaled out to .Ballard with the sacks Jammed in the third. . . . Departed Milt Smith broke into the San Diego lineup as a pinch-hitter at San Diego Friday night, bat fanned. . . .
