Angels back two games behind
Seattle.
It gave Vancouver four wins
and three series victories in a
row and a record of seven out
of their last eight games in the
right column.
Seattle missed a chance to go
farther ahead by losing to Port
land 4-3. Sacramento beat San
Diego 4-3 and Hollywood dump
ed San Francisco 3-1. '
Ryne Duren, who couldn't win
for losing early in the year,
notched hu, fourth straight vic
tory and fanned 17 Angels in
doing it. The 17 strikeouts came
within two of the PCL record of
19 set in 1905 by Charlie Shields
of Seattle.
The Mounties broke 1-1 ties
in each game to down the second
place Cherubs. In the first one a
three-run fifth inning did it and
in the second four runs in the
fourth frame won the contest.
Ron Jackson of Vancouver hit
the only home run of the two
games.
Bill Werle held Seattle to five
hits as the Beavers came from
behind with two unearned runs
in the seventh to edge the league
leaders. The winning run came
home on an interference play.
Frank Carswell homered for
the Beavers and Ray Orteig for
the Rainiers.
Under Protest
San Francisco ' protested its
game with Hollywood although
the Seals got only three hits off
Cholly Naranjo.
The protest came when the
Seals had a man on base and
one umpire called a ball hit by
Haywood Sullivan fair while an
other called it foul. In the mix
up Sullivan was ruled out at
first.
Hollywood got all its runs in
the fourth inning. '
Earl Rapp homered" for the
San Diego Padres in the eighth
inning ,to tie the score but the
Solons pushed across the win
ning run in the tenth frame on
a bases-loaded hit by George
Risley.
Gene Bearden, who came to
the relief of Earl Harrist, got
his second win in two nights and
Tom Herrera, third of four
Padre pitchers, was the loser.
The win made it three in a row
for the Sacs over the Pads.
