The V.F.W. Red Sox defeated
the Student Co-Op Orioles in two
spine-tingling games by scores of
3-2 and 4-3 to capture the College
Station Little League champion
ship earlier this week.
The Red Sox, managed by Dick
Gardemal, had won the first-half
championship previously. The Ori
oles, piloted by Wayne Smith,
fought back to take the second-
half title and gain the play-offs.
The Red Sox won Monday’s opem
er of the championship series as
they handed the Orioles’ Billy Mac
Miller his first defeat in the past
month. Larry Godfrey received
credit for the victory, although he
had to be relieved in the fifth in
ning by Freddy Wright. Wright
turned in a beautiful relief job as
he struck out six batters in his
two-inning stint on the mound.
Bramble RBI’s
Tommy Bramble banged a fluke
double down the left field line to
score Tommy Taylor with the ini
tial run of the series in the open
ing frame for the Red Stockings.
Danny Garner came across the
plate on Bobby Adams’ long double
to tie the score in the second in
ning.
Not to be denied, however, the
Red Sox pushed across single runs
in the third and fourth on doubles
by Taylor and Charles Gandy.
The Orioles loaded the bases
with none out in the bottom of the
fifth, but the rally netted only one
run due to the fine clutch pitching
of Wright.
In .Tuesday’s thriller, Bramble
went the distance and scattered
five hits effectively to finish the
season undefeated. Jud Rogers
also went all the way for the Ori
oles, only to lose a heart-breaker
on an error in the last inning.
Singles by Gandy and Godfrey,
coupled with three errors afield
by the Orioles, amounted to a trio
of Sox runs in their half of the
third inning.
Oriole Rally
The never-say-die Orioles tallied
once in the top of the fourth on
a single by Rogers and a costly
Red Sox error. They hung up two
more runs in the fifth inning to
tie the game. The big blows in
this uprising were booming two-
baggers by Adams and Miller.
The most important run of the
entire series was the one scored
by the Red Sox in the last inning
to sew up the championship.
Godfrey laced out another of the
many doubles hit in this two-game
set to lead off the inning.
