Raider pitching was strong enough but the Ashlanders couldn't muster scoring punch and errors hurt in the first game. Ned Landers tossed a three-hitter and Dave D'Olivo a seven-hitter. The Wolves also got seven raps in the second mix in which Duane Sides took over in the third inning for SOC hurler Ray Thiess who develop ed a sore arm. Bunched Walks, Hits Southern Oregon had a 2 to 0 lead in the first game Satur day but the Wolves bunched two walks with all their hits in the sixth inning for their runs. The Oregon college win in the second game came on a seventh inning tally which broke a 1 all deadlock.
