The lower division ' Seals bunched three runs in the sixth on two hits and a pair of walks off Barrett, who was charged with his 12th loss against 23 wins this season. Batters took the limelight at Los Angeles where the first place Angels pounded four Port" land hurlers for 20 safeties to . win 16-6. The excitement was no lest at San Diego where Hugh Luby, Oakland, third baseman,, sur passed a 25-year-old league rec ord for continuous games played by participating In his 679th contest since 1939.
