TTWlTOSlrtflr flftR!ltoflfl ETfimKo! School Golf - Team Second Tops lFeiincairac, & tto 2 Klamath Falls high baseball team must be thinking today that it should have stayed at home in stead of going to Medford to play the Black Tornado nine last week Friday. As it was the Pelicans through errors practically gave Medford a 6 to 2 Southern Oregon confer ence victory and kept the boys coached by Alex McDonald still mathematically in the race for first place conference honors. Medford picked up a pair of runs in the first inning when Gary Boshears reached on an error and Ray Smith and Don Coss walked and two scored when Klamath committed an other misplay. Wilkinson Gets Walk Another crossed the plate for the Tornado in the second inning on a walk to Don Wilkinson, a passed ball and the shortstop's mispiay on Boshears' ground ball. The Tornado waited until the fifth before it got two more runs. This time Cose lined a sin gle to right center and scored when Smith tripled over the cen terfielder's head to deep center. Smith in turn scored when Con nie Holzgang "squeezed" him home on a beautiful last split second bunt. Smith was off before the pitch left the hurler's hand and prob ably would have been safe had Holzgang missed out. Conner Beat! Throw The final Tornado run in the sixth stanza came when Dennis Conner beat out a slow roller to third base and he went to second as the hot corner guardian heaved the ball over first base Wilkinson sacrificed him to third and Conner scored later on a wild nitch. A home run by Overon for the Pelicans was another feature of the game. The box score: awns.
