The visitors also combed the two lo cal boys for 12 hits and made them count to better vantage than did the Rogues hitters. Five of those who drew walks off Rogues' hurlers later scored and two other free passes set previous baserunners in position to score on later hits. Hyatt showed Dlenty of "stuff and speed while Vargas showed the need for more playing ana conditioning. Don Williams of the Rogues snared a towering drive off the right field fence in the eighth inning off the bat of Hilly tnos. banging into the barrier as he did so. John Popovich, a new comer, snared a liner at his shoe tops in the fourth for another fielding gem. Medford lost the services of Shortstop Russ Stuart for sev eral days when a liner he knock ed down bounded up and hit him over the left eye in the first inning. Player Manager Tommy Nelson took his place and later when Al Bolen was ejected for protesting a called strike too loud, Nelson moved to third and Lloyd Jones went to short. The Rogues picked up one run in the fourth inning on a walk to Jack Cooney and a texas league double to right by Bob Haddock, the first hit made off Pitcher Angel. Two more scor ed in the fifth on singles by Popovich, Bolen, Vargas and Nelson. The final two Medford runs in the ninth inning were manu furtnrprt when Plnchhltter Glea- son reached on an error and so did Bill Adams, ana a single oy Cooney.
