In Ileppner's latest victory (the 4-2 win over the Stanfield Tigers) Griffith not only shone on the mound but led both teams In hitting as he whipped out two singles and a double for four times at the plate. Heppner hacked at least one hit per Inning but did not take advantage of the scoring column until the third when Griffith reached first on an infield error. Gentry slammed a single Into left field to score Griffith for the blue and gold's Initial run. Half of Heppner s four runs came in an action filled fourth frame. Ron McCabe started the ball rolling when he fired a looping single into center field and then stole second. Jim Mor ris took a free trip to first with a base on balls and then on a double steal, both McCabe and Morris advanced a base. Skip Ruhl then drove a base hit be tween second and third to score both Morris and McCabe. Stanfield came back with one run in the third as they eked out one single and took advant age of a Mustang error. In the fifth and sixth frames Heppner collected two singles, but could not bunch them tol gether for a run. Stanfield stayed scoreless and hitiess throughout both frames. Ileppner's last run came in the final seventh when the Mus tangs put three first base hits to drive Griffith home with the Mustangs last run of the game. However, the Tigers came back fighting and squeezed a run across in attempt to catch the galloping Mustangs. Ione's Cardinals, behind the four hit pitching of Ernie Drake, gave the Mustangs a good fight in an afternoon contest which saw the horses put down a last MORE Mustangs inning rally for a C-5 victory. Both teams played scoreless ball the first and second Innings with Heppner getting one lone hit during the period. Finally in the third inning the Mustang batsmen squared off on the rodbird "pitch" to send two smashing singles into the Cardi nal's outfield and collected four runs. Bill Brinda, outfield transfer from Ukiah, blopped out a field ers' choice that was hobbled. Ruhl followed with a sizzling In field hedgehopper that was muffed at second and as a re sult left both blue and gold run ners safe. Griffith then laced a single over the first sackers to score Brinda and Ruhl in from second and third. Burke Gentry came in safe to first after the Cardinal shortstop had hobbled his hit. Mustang ca teller, Jerry Dough erty, hit a hard single to left field to bring both Gentry and Griffith across the plate to give the horses a third inning lead of 4 0. lone drove across one run in the fourth, but Heppner retalia ted in the fifth with Gentry and Turner scoring on a single, error, and wild pitch.

This week's action will see the Mustangs encounter the Umatil la Vikings in a game that has been moved up from Thursday to Friday. The tilt Is slated for 2 o'clock. o Local Tennis Squad Loses to Umatilla Coach James Popham's netmen went down to defeat to much more experienced Viking squad from Umatilla last Monday by scores of 2-0,2-0,2-0, and 2-1. The only real resistance the Viking tennis team met was that of singles player, Louie Sayers, who gave the Umatiila netsman an "even-steven" fight in the first set. The doubles team, Lance Tib bies and Sayors handed the or ange and black team a good bat tle in the initial round of action but couldn't keep up the fast pace set by the Vikings in the last rounds. Dave Cox, one of this years team's only experienced tennis team member was absent from the squad due to illness and re ports from coach Popliam were that it handicapped the squad greatly.
