blanked Sacramento with a two
hitter while the Stars won the
opener, 3-0, Sunday to get a
foot in the door. Then they
shoved Los Angeles out by down
ing the Sacs again in the night
cap, 2-0, on a six-hit job by
reliable Ben Daniels.
It was Daniels' fifth triumph
against no defeats. And the dou
ble blanking not only dropped
the Solons into the basement be
hind Portland but ran their lat
est runless epidemic to 19
straight innings.
Bob Alexander of the Beavers
helped nudge the Angels out of
first place by beating them, 3-1,
in their opener and limiting Los
Angeles to five hits. One of them
was a bases empty homer by
Jim Baxes, which offset an
earlier blast by Luis Marquez
of Portland.
The victory also ran Port
land's winning streak to three
straight, its fattest of the year,
but the Beavers then faded in
the nightcap, 7-2.
Another dandy pitching job
was turned in by southpaw
Charley Rabe of Seattle, who
held San Diego to one hit in
the seven inning nightcap to
insure the Rainiers a 4-1 win
in the finale and a split. Tony
Mesa of the Pads beat the vet
eran Larry Jansen in the first
game, 3-2, with the aid of Earl
Averill's two run homer in the
seventh frame.
San Francisco took over third
spot in the whirling standings
by besting Vancouver, 6-2 in the
first game. Pitcher's luck went
into reverse in this one when
Mel Held of the Mounties was
smashed in the knee by a line
drive off the bat of opposing
pitcher Bert Thiel. Held was
rushed to the hospital for ex
amination. The second game ran into the
6 p.m. curfew with the Seals
leading, 4-2, and Vancouver com
ing up in its half of the sixth
inning. Things won't be decided
until August, the earliest date
to play it off.
Marquez, Portland's big little
clutch man from Puerto Rico,
drove in two of the Beavers'
three runs in their first game
with Los Angeles. In addition
to his homer, Ke later sent in
another tally with a sharp single
to drop Bob Darnell to his sec
ond loss.
A six-run Angel splurge ruin
ed a tight ball game in the fifth
innings of the windup. Two
Portland errors and Tom Saf-
fell's double helped keep the
rally going and get old Red
Adams his second PCL triumph.
