Errorless play and hitting in the
pinches gave Heppner the slight ad
vantage over lone in the game here
as shown on the score sheet. Both
teams hit safely eleven times and
lone had the advantage on extra base
blows. Everson's homer drove in
Engelman ahead of him for two
. runs in the first inning, Ransier's two.
bagger scored Everson in the third,
and Pettyjohn's triple followed by
Walker's two bagger resulted in the
final tally in the sixth.
Al Massey made his way around
the bags after an infield hit as lead
off man in the first inning. Rod
Thomson tripled in the fourth and
scored as Davidson was taken at
first. Heavy-hitting Al tripled be
hind Hottman's double sacker, and
himself scored on Alaen's two bag
ger for two tallies in the fifth. Gil
man rapped out a double to score
Davidson, and himself scored on
Hottman's single to finish the locals'
side of the scoring in the sixth.
Rod Thomson started on the
mound for Heppner but retired with
one away in the first, and Ray Mas
sey completed the game in spite of
being hit by a hard grounder on the
ankle, which accident threatened for
a time to be serious enough to cause
him to leave the game. Dorr Mason
chucked four innings for lone and
Larry Ritchie finished out.
Local strength was augmented by
the playing of Len Gilman, Don Tur
ner, Harlan McCurdy and Olaen,
college boys home for vacation.
