Klamath Falls pulled into a
tie for the Southern Oregon
Conference baseball leadership
nd knocked Medford high out
of the championship picture by
squelching the Black Tornado 6
to 0 here yesterday.
The Pelicans with the win,
gained a deadlock with Grants
Pass. Each has now seven wins
and three losses in the circuit
and In District 6 A-l conten
tion. The two clubs lock in a show
down doubleheader at Klamath
Falls on Thursday. It will be
the make up of a rained out
series but will end the regular
conference slate. If either team
sweeps the doublebill, it will be
the champ. If GP and KF split,
a play-off fray will be needed
to resolve the district title.
The A-l titlist will play Crat
er, A-2 champion, for a state
tourney spot.
Fifth Tornado Lots
Medfdrd was eliminated with
its fifth loss. The Tornado won
seven loop games but has fin
ished conference and district
play. It is scheduled to wind up
the season with non-conference
action at Bend this week end.
Klamath scored three runs
each in the fourth and seventh
innings yesterday to spoil Med
ford's title hopes. While the
Pels were getting their runs,
their pitcher, Dave D'Olivo was
holding down the Tornado well.
D'Olivo yielded five hits. But
Medford couldn't bunch them,
getting never more than one in
an inning.
In the fourth frame for Kla
math, Don Taucher beat out a
rap to third base for a hit. The
ball was overthrown first base
and he went on to second. Craig
McCarty fanned and Bill Hamb
lin grounded out, Taucher go
ing to third. Bob Kelly singled
with a fly in short right field,
scoring Taucher, and stole sec
ond. D'Olivo drew a base on
balls. Dave Leeling then flied
into right field. Fielder Paul
Eckel charged the ball but did
not snag it 'and the ball rolled
for a triple. Kelly arid D'Olivo
scored. Butch Kimpton ground
ed out to end the inning.
Hamblin Triples
In the seventh Kimpton led
off with a bunt single and stole
second. Ron Conner walked and
a wild pitch advanced both run
ners. Jerry Burke scored Kimp
ton with a sacrifice squeeze.
Taucher fouled out but Mc
Carty walked. Then Hamblin
slashed out a three-bagger
bringing in Conner and McCarty.
Kelly fanned for the third out.
Klamath had another scoring
chance in the second inning
when McCarty led off with a
double and went to third base
on a wild pitch. He. was caught
trying to come home on a
squeeze play.
Medford had been on base in
very inning, on hits in the first
five frames and on walks in the
last two but just couldn't mass
any big effort. Closest the Tor
nado came to a run was in the
fourth panel when Lorin Jacobs
led off with a single. He ad
vanced to second on a ground
out by Eckel and to third on
another groundout by Larry Go
ber but Jim Owsley's hard
smash was caught by Center-
fielder Don Taucher on one knee
to retire the side.
D'Olivo walked two and fan
ned five batters. Pitcher Ed
McCullough of Medford whiffed
six and walked four along with
giving eight hits.
