Thursday, July 7, -1955 THE BATTALION Page 3 Game of Week Senators, Orioles Tie 3-3 The first game under the new lights at Little League Park Tues day night brought to a large crowd one of the most exciting games of the season. Struggling to an eight-inning tie, the first extra-inning game of the 1955 sea son, were the Student Co-op Or ioles and the Black’s Pharmacy Senators. Featured in the game which end ed 3 to 3 because of a time limit was brilliant relief pitching on both sides. The Orioles got into several jams because of loose field ing—they made 10 errors — but tight pitching got them out of trouble except in the third inning. Larry Randolph toiled six in nings for the Orioles, permitting only two hits. Due to a Little League ruling that no pitcher can hurl more than six innings in a week. Randolph retired in the sev enth in favor of Jackie Ross. Ross promptly got in trouble, and Bobby Adams, who had been playing first base, came in to throttle the Sena tors during the rest of the game. ‘Fireman’ Fowler The Senators picked up a superb job of relief twirling on the part of Jim Fowler. Fowler, who had been playing second base, came to the mound in the sixth when the Ori oles had a man on third with no outs. He got out of the inning unscathed. P. D. Gandy, right fielder, col lected two hits for the Orioles, and left fielder Bill Berry drove in two runs. Catcher Russel Brown of the Orioles had the game’s only extra base hit, a double, but it proved to be of no avail. For the Sena tors, right fielder Larry Lewis had two hits of the four they got. Fowler got the other two and drove in a run. The Orioles collected six hits. The Orioles were up and down in the first, and the Senators, in spite of a two-base error by Oriole short stop Les Palmer, got nothing in their half of the inning. Nothing in Second In the second, the Orioles got two men on base—a single by Gan dy and a walk to Berry—but a force play at second ended the threat. A walk, a wild pitch, and a throwing error by the Oriole catcher put a Senator on third base with only one out, but the Oriole pitcher bore down to strike out first baseman James Riggs and force his opposing moundsman, Jack Armistead, to pop out on a nice catch by second baseman Danny Garner. The third was of a different or der, for, after the Orioles had gone down in three up—three down fashion, the Senators got their on ly runs of the game. The Oriole pitcher started it when he fumbled Lewis’s grounder. Catcher Jimbo Carroll walked, and Coufal ground ed to second. Garner, at second, picked up the ball Mid threw to third, trying for a rtirce, but he threw wild. Lewis scored, Carroll went to third and Coufal wound up on second. Centerfielder Joe 01- ian grounded to short, and Palmer, trying for the out at home, threw wild. Carroll scored, but Coufal was out at the plate in a sharp collision with the pitcher who had taken the throw from the catcher. Olian, meanwhile, had gone to sec ond, from where he was singled home by Fowler. A single by Gandy, an error, and Former Staffer Goes to LSU Dr. George L.

Main Bryan a ground-out brought in the first Oriole run in the top of the fourth. Randolph, who had been put on base as a result of the error, scored the second run in the same inning on a passed ball. The Senators threatened in the bottom of the fourth, filling the bases on two walks and an error with only one out. A liner to short right was caught and the right fielder threw home to hold the base runners. Randolph got out of the trouble when his left fielder, Berry, made a running catch of Olian’s fly ball. Trailing 2 to 3 in the fifth, the Orioles tied up the gall game—a tie that was not to be broken that night. After an out, third baseman Tommy Kerley singled off Olian’s glove in deep left center. George Outlaw, Oriole center fielder, grounded to third baseman Sidney Coufal who threw to second for an apparent force on Kerley. How ever, the shortstop covering sec ond dropped the ball, and both Ker ley and Outlaw were safe. Gandy forced Kerley at third, then Ran dolph walked, filling the bases. Berry drove in Outlaw with an in field hit. Senator second baseman Fowler probably prevented another run from scoring with a brilliant stop of Berry’s grounder over sec ond base. The Sixth Inning Brown doubled in the sixth for the Orioles, sliding into second safely under the throw from left field. He went to third on a wild pitch. With the count 3 balls and 1 strike on the next batter, Palmer, the Senators decided to change pitchers. Fowler came in from second base to the mound, and Jim Mills replaced him at second. Fowl er finished the walk to Palmer, then struck out Adams. Kerley popped out to first base, and Brown, who had raced toward the plate when Kerley hit the ball, was out at third, the ball being thrown there before he could get back.

The Senators came close to win ning the game in their half of the sixth. A single and an error put two on, but Randolph forced Cou fal to ground out to force the game into extra innings. The Orioles got nothing but a walk in the seventh. The Senators created a stir of excitement in their half, but didn’t come up with any runs. Olian was safe on an error, and went to second on a wild pitch. Shortstop Johnnie Williams struck out, and Olian was out trying to steal third on the play. Fowler singled to right center, moving to third on Palmer’s wild throw of Calvin Schehin’s grounder. Adams relieved Ross, who had replaced Randolph in the seventh due to the Little League ruling. Adams promptly struck out Riggs to end the inning. The Orioles managed a walk in the eighth inning, but it was lost among three strikeouts as Fowler really bore down with his fast ball. After an out, the Senators started something with Lewis getting a single, and Carroll being safe on Palmer’s fifth eri'or of the night. Coufal lined out to center field for the second out. Lewis got to third base on a wild pitch. With two out, Olian, who until five fruitless appearances' last night, had been the league’s leading hitter, popped out to first base to end the game in the deadlock. If the game has any bearing on the outcome of the second half winner, it will be replayed at a later date.
