9 (•) THE NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL. NYSSA. OREGON. THURSDAY. AUGUST !. 1957 John Siraianer's Long Fly in the 8th Scoring Martyn Gives Nyssa Beetmen 3-2 Win Over Boiseans in Thriller A long fly deep into center- field by John Simianer scoring Gerry Martyn in the eighth in ning turned the tide in favor of the Beetmen and helped them edge Boise 3-2 before 600 fans Tuesday night at the high school field. For six innings neither team could score in a game featuring good pitching and almost airtight fielding. The Beetmen threatened in the second and again in the fourth but each time Boise put out the fire. In the fifth, Boise had men on first and third but Ron Heberger fired to third catching the Idaho an leading off. It wasn't until the seventh that either team broke the ice. Boise tallied a run on an error, scoring the man from third. The Beetmen came back when Barnes walked. Hale singled, but the Boise fielder missed the ball scoring Barnes and sending Hale to second. Nyssa had their big inning in the eighth when Gerry Martyn cracked a double and John Si mianer belted a long fly into een- terfield. The Boisean misjudged the ball and had to run back to catch it. For a moment, it looked like he would catch it and Mar tyn held at second. However, he dropped the ball and Martyn rac ed for the plate. Simianer in the confusion headed for third and the throw to the base was wild sending him on to score. Trailing 2-1 in the ninth, the Idahoans gave the local crowd a bad scare in the final inning scoring one run on a double after the first batter got on base on an error.

The victory gave Nyssa a tie with Boise for the second half standings in the league. The two teams will probably meet again to decide the second half winner.
