I t..i 'ACE TWO Fred Gay Pitches, Bats j Naval Air Station to 14 to 7 Win Over Craters !rrl fiav Ditched and batted the navy to a 14 to 7 victory over the Medford Craters Sunday in a' game that was tighter than the score would indicate. p Olsen started on the mound fcir the sailors but the valley boys found his offerings to their lik ing ana pounaea mm ior one run in the first inning and five runs in the second frame before ex- Yankee Uay took over ana quel led the uprising, t .'But the Crater spurt had put Mir sailors behind 6 to 0 in their half of the second Inning. How ever they scored three unearned runs in. that, frame and added four more runs in the third to take a one run lead which they never lost again. It was still anybody's game until the gobs staged a four-run rally in the eighth that put the game on ice. The Medfordites' in ability to bring their men in to score after they got on base cost them the game as they left 11 men on base compared to only four left on base by the navy. 1 Both teams played well in the field and the Craters twice pulled doubleplays tl.at cut off potential- navy runs. Second Baseman Calac was the standout for the Craters defensively making four unassisted putouts and five as sists as weu as participating in both double plays. Eleven valley players went down swinging as Gay notched nine strikeouts and Olsen picked up two. The three Medford hurl ers failed to fan anybody. Only four walks were issued during the whole game, two by Gay and one "each from Johnson and Lar.ge. ' The 'sailors got 13 hits off the three Crater hurlers while the Medford champs got 11 bingles. Olsen gave up seven hits in 2 23 innings and Gay was hit only four times. Gay had the game so well- in hand that only one run was scored off him and it was unearned. Every man on the navy squad got a hit except the catcher, Bit enour, and he got credit for driv ing in a run. -,. . . Harvey Storey led the seafar ers! ..hitting . with a double and a. triple" in four times at bat. Gay followed with two doubles: in four chances.
