Pet Ashland , , 5 Med ford 3 Grants Past 3 KJamath Falla 1 1 J 33 3 .500 3 .500 4 .167 Medford high varsity base ballers looked forward confi dently today to opportunities to catch up with the loop-pacing Ashland Grizzlies in the Sou thern Oregon Conference and District 6 A-l campaign. Black Tornado diamonders fought by the Grants Pass Cave men 5 to 4 Friday and regained a tie with GP for second in the standings. Ashland and Medford collide at Ashland Tuesday after noon and here on Friday. Larry Perkins smacked out a double down the right field line to drive home Gordon Owsley for the winning marker in the seventh inning as a hustling Medford crew took the Friday triumph at Grants Pass. The Tor nado nevertheless had to weath er a serious final GP bid before heading home with the win. Dick McLaughlin provided the bulk of the hitting power for the Tornado. He slammed a homer and triple, driving m three runs and scoring twice. All three members of the Med ford hurling staff were called into service and the combined efforts of Henry Putney, Ernie Tyler and Duane Sides were about even with the showing of Larry Cochell, GP sophomore pitcher who went the route. Each team gpt six hits. Medford collected three runs in its first batting turn of the afternoon. With two out, Ed Reinking tripled, Larry Gober drew a walk and McLaughlin socked a hard line drive down the left field line for a home run. Grants Pass came back with three in the second to tie the score. Dennis Eckstein walked and went to second base on a wild pitch. Jerry Christean also got a base on balls and Pete Proctor three-baggered to center field to drive in two counters. A Tornado error, Butch McFar land's grounder enabled Prcctor to score. The Cavemen thereby picked up three runs off one hit. Cavemen Lead In the fifth frame GP went In front 4 to 3. Walt McCurdy singled, McFarland walked and Chuck Lashwer sacrificed them to second and third. Cochell drew a free pass to load the sacks. One possible score was prevented when Third Baseman Jim Putney fielded Chuck Nevi's grounder and threw McCurdy out at the plate. After one ball was pitched to Allen Drews. Coach John Kovenz sent in Tyler to replace Henry Putney on the hill. Drews was awarded a base on balls on a three-two pitch to force the run across. In the sixth inning, Catcher McLaughlin drove the ball to deep left center field for a three sack hit. Dennis King's sharp single to center field brought McLaughlin home for Medford's ON 1949-56 FORD PASSENGER CARS We will lubricate your car Change your oil oil included Change your filter filter included Pack your front -wheel bearings Inspect your brake lining Inspect your exhaust system for leaks Inspect differential seals Inspect rear transmission seal and bushing CRATER LAKE MOTORS (gSjjPh "WHERE GOOD SERVICE IS A MUST" 28 Phone 3-4547 Medford Main & Fir Sts. tying run. Perkins Swats Tyler was hit by a Cochell pitch in the seventh inning but he was forced out on a ground ball by Owsley. Perkins then came through with his double. Owsley was on his way to second on a steal sign at the time and the big start enabled him to get all the way home safely. Grants Pass came dangerously close to pulling the tussle out of the fire in its seventh-inning batting turn. Lasher beat out a trickier toward third base. Cochell popped out to Putney at third. Sides was called in to pitch to a righthander, Kevi. However, the Grants Pass man drew a walk putting runners on first and second. Drews followed with a long drive to right field. Runners had to hold their bases on the swat to be sure the ball wasn't caught. Outfielder snagged the ball on the first bounce and quickly threw to First Baseman Gober, whose relay to McLaughlin caught Lasher at the plate. Christean was next up ' and Sides got two quick strikes on the Caveman. Then three balls were called. The GP batter then fouled off four pitches before striking out to end the game. GP also had come close to a tally in. the sixth inning. Chris MedforivTribuns glPODDRTrS Yesterdays Scores NATIONAL LEAGUE Brooklyn 13 3 Pittsburgh 3 8 1 Lehman.

Putney walked six men in 4 23 innings. Tyler was not charged with a walk in his 123 innings and Sides gave one free pass. Cochell issued three walks and hit two batters. He struck out four. Medford was bolstered with Dick McLaughlin again handling the catching duties and other Tornado players back in their regular positions. McLaughlin was hampered somewhat by a sore thumb resulting from a foul tip. The Tornado is highly hope ful of a better showing against Ashland to which it lost 6 to 5 and 3 to 2. Hustle shown against Grants Pass was an encouraging sign. Tornado Jayvees play St. Mary's at the fairgrounds on Wednesday. LINESCORES: Medforrt 300 001 1 5 6 1 Grant.s Pass 030 010 0 4 6 0 H.
