THE BATTALION
Page 3
Red Sox Annihilate
LL Athletics, 17-13
Prize Winners
By ANDY ANDERSON
Battalion Sports Editor
Wayne Thompson, Southside
Food Market Red Sox hurler,
struck out Bill Wallace in the bot
tom of the sixth inning in yester
day’s Little League game between
the Red Sox and the American
Laundry Athletics to stifle a rally
that threatened to tie up the con
test won by the Red Sox 17-13.
Six runs were already in and
the bases were loaded as a result
of two hits, four errors and three
walks when Thompson whipped the
third and deciding strike by pinch-
hitter Wallace. Wallace had come
in to run for Hugh Seale earlier
in the inning and in fanning, eras
ed the Athletics chances at sal
vaging the ball game.
Thompson in pitching the entire
six innings of the tilt, limited the
A’s to 10 hits but poor fielding,
especially in the last inning and
several costly walks with the bases
loaded produced runs that other
wise should not have crossed the
plate.
For the Red Sox it was a well
earned victory. Going into the
last inning they had a comfortable
10-run lead but saw it fade as 11
Athletics came to the plate to tal
ly six runs.
A’s Go Ahead in 1st
The Sox were behind after one
innings of play, 3-0, as three sing
les, a walk and a hit batsman pro
duced the three runs.
But the score did not remain that
way long as the Sox scored three
on but one hit with the aid of two
walks, a hit batsmen and a two
base error.
The Red Sox went ahead to stay
in the top of the fourth as they
scored 11 runs on five walks, five
hits, two Athletic errors and a
fielder’s choice.
In the bottom of the fourth, the
A’s racked up four runs on two
doubles, one each by H. K. Odom
and Seale, three walks and a passed
ball.
That was the scoring until the
sixth when the Red Sox defense
fell apart. They made four of their
six errors in that frame.
Leading hitter for the Red Sox
was Jimmy Simpson, catcher, with
two for four but four Sox, Jerry
Smith, Charles Todd, Butch Couch
and George Carroll, tallied three
, run eacjh to account for 12 of the
17 runs scored by the Sox.
For the A’s, two men shared
batting honors. Odom who start
ed in left field and moved in to
?lay short stop in the fourth inn
ing, poled out three hits, two
doubles and a single, to share hit-
Thompson all the way for the I
winners. For the A’s, Charlie
Munoz started but was relieved in
the 11-run fourth by Johnny Car
rier who started the game as the |
A’s short stop.
Munoz was tagged with the loss.
The line score:
Red Sox 030 (11) 30—17 8 5
Athletics 300 4 06—13 10 6

Bizzell Cops First Game of
Series 8-7; Vet Village Wins
By TOM ROUNTREE
Battalion Sports Staff
Bizzell Bears took the first of a
three-game series with the Mil
ner Tigers to decide the non-mili
tary softball championship last
night 8-7.
First three innings were relative
ly uneventful as Bear Pitcher
George Gerretson and Tiger Pit
cher Wert Love dueled. Both
teams had three up and three down
for three innings.
First blood went to the Tigers
in the top of the fourth when Bob
Cobb got on with a one bagger and
was followed by Dan Pratt with a
double. Cobb scored on Pratt’s
double and Pratt came in later in
the inning when Love rifled out
another single.
In the Bear portion of the fourth
Dick Edgar got on base with an
error by Cobb, Tiger short and
then scored when Love walked
Neil Baxter with the bases loaded.
Milner’s big inning was in the
top of the fifth when they picked
up three more runs off of three
hits and a fielder’s choice. R. G.
DeBerry, Cobb and Bill Munson all
got one baggers and Bob Harris
made the first base marker on a
fielder’s choice. DeBerry, Mun
son and Harris all crossed the
plate to garner the Tiger runs.
Bizzell went wild in the bottom
of the fifth as Love seemed to lose
some of his control. The Bears
picked up seven runs off of five
walks, two hits and one fielder’s
choice. Bear Relief Pitcher T. J.
“Windmill” King helped to win his
own game when he blasted out a
beautiful single between first and
second to score two men. One of
the runs that scored on King’s hit
was the winning run.
Milner picked up their last runs
in the sixth and seventh innings.
One run in the sixth after Gene
Long got on when he was hit by a
pitched ball and the final run came
College Station Takes First
As Swim Records Are Broken
in the seventh when Pratt clobber
ed the ball to get a triple and
knock in DeBerry who had gotten I
on with a fielder’s choice.
Winning pitcher was King—los
er was Love.
VV Blanks Dorm 15
In the single elimination non
military softball tourney, Vet
Village downed Dorm 15 9-0 in
four innings.
Vet Village Pitcher G. H. Bunch
gave up only one hit, a two-bagger,
in sinking the Dorm men.
All of the VV runs came in the !
first inning as five men got on I
with walks, one with a hit and one
with an error. All of the first |
nine batters for the VV’s crossed
the plate. Dorm 15 never serious
ly threatened the VV’s as they got
only five men on base during the
game and of these five, only one
was on a hit.
Winning pitcher was Bunch—
loser was Almonquer.
