Medford and Albany, those
two giants of the Oregon State
Baseball league, are still dead
locked in their violent battle
for the championship.
ine ngnting craters came
from behind twice yesterday to
tie the score. Then, in roaring
ninth inning, they got the one
big tally that shattered a 4 to
4 tie and gave them a 3 to 4
victory over Southpaw Glen
Elliott and an even break in
the two-game series.
Joe Leptich, Albany's mighty
batsman, was the goat of the
game, after he had temporarily
assumed the hero's role with a
home run blast inside the park
in the fourth inning that gave
the Alco-Oaks a 3 to 1 lead.
Leptich was brought in from
centerfield In the ninth inning
to wear the mask and protec
tor, after Jimmy Robertson, reg
ular catcher, was lifted for a
pinch-hitter.
With bases Jammed with Crat
ers and two men gone, Elliott cut
loose with oiiti of his difficult-to-handle
"sinker" pitches. Al
Wray, pinch-hitting for Pat Pat
terson, took a mighty cut at the
ball, missed, and it skidded
through Leptich's legs and roll
ed to the stands while Billy
Calvert flashed in from third
base with the winning tally. It
was probably the most disas
trous passed ball of the season.
Crip Starts Rally
Steve Crippen, who pitched
the last Inning for Medford af
ter Big Bill Lanning retired
with the count 4 to 4, started
the ninth-frame rally that
brought victory. He smashed a
single to deep short and went
to third on Calvert's one-base
blow to left-center. Calvert took
second on the throw-in, and af
tery Rlney Cook grounded out
Elliott gave Alex McDonald an
Intentional walk to load the
bags and set the stage for a
double play.
Cliff McLean, with the 1,200
fans roaring for a clout, hit
down the third base line and
Crippen was forced out at
home. Manager Paul Hoffard
sent Wray to the plate to bat
for Patterson, and the crippled
outfielder swung and missed
Elliott's first pitch. The Oregon
State college southpaw threw a
ball, then he cut loose with his
Sunday pitch, that "sinker," and
Leptich couldn't handle it.
For the Craters, it was a fight
from behind at all times, with
the big explosion coming in the
eighth inning when they blasted
two runs across the plate to
come up from a 2 to 4 disad
vantage and knot the score.
Peterson Doubles
Tommy Hawkins, Medford's
clutch-hitting catcher, and
Rocky Peterson, left fielder,
provided the dynamite in this
frame. With two gone. Hank
Pechaco drew Elliott's fourth
base on balls and Peterson ham
mered a double to left-center,
his second of the contest, send
ing Pechaco scampering over
the plate. Hawkins then whaled
a single to deep short thut
almost tore Riley Richards' i "
glove off and Peterson came i McLe,n Sb
over with the tying run. ! p,tMro'n. lb
Lanning, who gave up nine perhaeo. cf
nits in nis eignt innings ot ton, petenon. it
in the second, the first of the
game. Leptich walked, went to
second on Move s sacrifice and
scored on Clifford's single to
right.
Medford tied it at 1 to 1
in the third, and It was Lanning,
himself, who started things
with a single to right. Calvert
bunted and Elliott, after field
ing the ball, threw wild to first
and Lanning went to third. Af-
terk Cook flied to right, Mc
Donald hit a towering fly into
left and Bob Bergstrom drop
ped the .ball, Lanning scoring.
Leptich Homers
The Alco-Oaks - apparently
clinched the fracas In the
fourth when Bergstrom singled
to left and Leptich smacked his
inside-the-park homer, Leptich's
smash was .into deep right-center
and Pechaco lost the ball
in the sun.
The Craters fought back for
one run in the fifth on McDon
ald's single to left and McLean's
double to right-center, but the
Alco-Oaks made it 4 to 2 in the
sixth when Bergstrom got his
third single of the game, went
to third on Leptich's single to
right and scored on Moye's
single to center.
That was the way It remained
until the Craters tied it up in
the eighth, although if it had
not been for Rocky Peterson
the Oaks would have had an
other in their half of the eighth.
Abbott got hit by a pitch and
took second on a wild pitch,
then Moye laced a screacher to
left-center. Peterson raced far
to his left, leaped high in the
air and stabbed the ball for the
putout, after which he fired the
ball to second to complete a
brilliant double play.
Thrilling Plays
That catch of Peterson's was
just one of a series of sensa
tional fielding plays turned in
by both clubs. McLean pulled
a great stop of a hard smash
and forced a runner at second.
McDonald, with two on in the
sixth, speared a sizzling ground
ball, stepped on second and
fired to first for a double kill
ing. Pechaco, In centerfield.
came up with two sparkling
catches and Calvert hauled
down what appeared to be s
base hit into right field. Rich
ards, Albany shortstop, handled
nine chances perfectly, several
of which bordered on the sen
sational. Pechaco. with two singles in
two trips; Peterson, with his two
doubles, and Calvert, with a
pair of one-basers, led Medford's
11-hit attack on Elliott. Berg
strom collected three singles for
Albany, while Leptich hit a
homer and single and Richards
hit two singles.
It was a large week-end for
Leptich, for in Albany's 3 to 0
win Saturday night he hit three
for four.
G. P. Here Wednesday
This series opened the sec
ond-half pennant race, Medford
and Albany having finished tn
a tie for first place in the first
half struggle. Wednesday night
the Craters will play Grants
Pass under the lights here in

week-end will entertain Jack
Hnd Jill of Portland in a pair

The Oregon State baseball
league took the wrappings off
its second-half schedule yester
day and Silverton bolted to the
front with two victories over
Hills Creek, 6-5 and 8-4.
Inasmuch as all other clubs
divided doubleheaders the Red
Sox, who finished third during
the first half, took one-game
lead.
Wiltshire pitched five-hitter
in the first game of a double
header Sunday to give Eugene
a 7-2 verdict over Jack & Jill
of Portland. In the afterpiece,
however, Richards pinched Eu
gene to four hits for a 6-3 de
cision for the Portland team.
The greatly-strengthened Port
land Babes broke even - with
Bend at Bend in a doubleheader
Sunday. The mid-state team won
the opener easily, 10-2, but Car
lascio spaced eight hits well in
the second game and won it for
tne Babes, 5-1.
