May 14. 1964 Heppner Swamps Burns Hilanders In Season Finale Heppner's Mustang base bailers ended their season on a sweet note Saturday as they took both ends of a double bill from the Burns Hilanders, 5-3 and 12-5, on the Heppner field. The win in the first contest of the day left the Mustangs in sole possession of second spot in the western half of the Great er Oregon league. The second place finish was the third sec ond place finish in a major sport for the Horsemen this year. Wahtonka of The Dalles fin ished the campaign in first spot in the loop. The Eagles sported a 5-0 league mark to win the title. The Mustangs were 3-2 for the league and 11-5 for the sea son. Burns had beaten three teams from the A-l Intermountain league this year and threatened to give the local lads a run for their money for the runner-up position in the loop in the Sat urday finale. The threat lasted until the sixth inning of the initial con test, a seven-inning affair, when the Mustangs broke a 3-3 stand off with two more counters on a hit by Bill Snyder, a walk to Jim Doherty, and a fielder's choice which was thrown home and got away, allowing Doherty and Snyder to score. Earlier in the contest, the Mustangs had taken a 3-0 ad vantage in the third inning when they scored three tallies on a dropped third strike to Dave Anderson and hits by Stu art Dick, Don Munkers, and Carl Bauman. The Hilanders flew back to knot the score at 3-3 when they scored three runs in the top of the fourth. Ken Smith pitched the victory for the Mustangs, going all the way and striking out seven Burns batters. The win gave Smith a record of 6-3 for the year. He won his last five In a row. Heppner came up with a fine display of hitting to swamp the Hilanders in the second, five inning affair. The Mustangs scored every inning and collec ted eight of their runs in the first frame. Stuart Dick, Don Munkers, Carl Bauman, Ken Smith and Sam Strait all hit two safeties for the Heppnerites. The big blow of the game was a bases loaded double by Strait in the first inning. Bauman went to the mound for the Mustangs for the second time this season and turned in another creditable performance. The Mustang first sacker struck out two to even his record at 1-1. Pete Glennie, Mustang' dia mond coach, commented that he was pleased with the perfor mances of his charges for the season and pointed out that 16 of 17 are returning next year. The only loss to the Horsemen is a great one indeed as they will lose their prime pitcher, Ken Smith, who will graduate in two weeks, and is rated among the top 20 pitchers, statistically, in the state, an enviable record.
