May U. 1967 Diamond Team Defeats Condon By RICK JOHNSTON The Mustangs made it a sweep over the Condon baseball team as thev downed the home town Blue Devils, 6-3, there on May 2. The local nine wasted little time as Johnston got aboard on a fielder's choise and stole sec ond before Jim Doherty lashed a long double to score Johnston from second. The Mustangs then scored two more in the second as the Blue Devils committed an error with two outs, giving the Mustangs life. Heppner con cluded its scoring with two runs in the third and one in the fourth. Condon came up wth two tallies in the third and one in the fifth but couldn't quite slug out a victory over the Mus tangs. Rob Jackson started on the mound for the Blue Devils and needed relief help from Mike Gronholm in the fifth inning. Jackson gave up all the Mus tangs' runs as Gronholm shut down eight of the nine Mus tang batters he faced via the strikeout route. Russell Kilken ny was on the hill for the Mus tangs and gave up three runs on four hits. Kilkenny shut down nine of the Condon bat ters on strikes. Jim Doherty with 2-4 and Jerry Healy with 1-3 were the top Mustang performers at the plate. Ken Humphrey hit the top ball of the day, with a tow ering 300-plus double straight to center.
