Winning Rally in the
Eighth Inning

San Francisco was presented with
the third game of the series with
Vernon yesterday by punk judgment
/ in base running by the Villagers when
they seemed about to break up the
game with a winning rally In the
! eighth inning. Only one run scored
when they should have registered two
or more. AS a result, the Seals were
able to hold onto the tie until the
eleventh inning when they put over
two more runs and cinched the game
turning defeat into an undeserved VIC
tory Willett pitched good ball until
the final inning, although he weak
ened a bit in the fifth and sixth inn
ings. while Miller was anything but a
bear cat.
Vernon started off like two-time
winners by scoring twice in the OPEN
ing round San Francisco tied the
score in the fifth and the Villagers
promptly united it in their half.
Frisco took the lead in the sixth with
two runs and Vernon tied the score in
the eighth, when they should have
cinched the game. Things went along
in this tied up fashion until the elev-
enth. when the Seals scored twice and
the Villagers were unable to make the
necessary rally to tie 1t up again or
win.
Bodie must be charged with the de-
feat of Vernon, more than any other
individual Seal. as il was his home
run in the fifth, scoring Lewis ahead
of him. that gave the Seals their first
runs Two strikes had been called on
Bode and the score stood 2 to 0
against the Seals. In his previous
times at bat he had not been able to
do anything and he was desperate.
swinging for the third strike in muir
derous fashion. The ball scared nigh
over the left field fence and Lewis
chased home ahead of him, these runs
teing the score. From this time on
until the last Villager was out in the
eleventh, ii was a nerVe-racking see
saw game, with thrills enough to sat
isfy the most eXacting and tight SO
desperate that a nervous person might
have been justified in experiencing an
attack of nervous prostration.
With this start. the Seals took cour-
age and hung out another pair of runs
in the sixth, three doubles earning
these runs. In the eighth it looked
like Vernon surely would overcome the
Seals lead and win the game, but
some boneheaded base running and
poor judgment on the coaching lines
spilled the beans. One run resulted
where not less than two, which
would have won the game, should
have been scored.
In this inning Burrel staggered the
scoreboard with a smashing double.
Martinke sacrificed Burrell going to
third Miller deliberately walked Roy
Brashear and Coy hit to Tenant who
overthrew the plate allowing Burrell
to tie the score. With runners on sec
ond and third and only one out, 1t
looked like a shame to take the money
Lindsay got the high sign for a
squeeze, but failed to do his part by
bunting the ball and Brashear engaged
in a diplomatic footrace with three
fourths of the Seals aggregation be
tween third and home back and
forth. Coy meantime chased up to
| third from second and was promptly
hvpnotized by the exciting scenes be
| ing enacted before him and rested at
/ third Brashear finally eluded his pur-
doubt hating to do ii, tagged him. Coy
/ still refused to bulge and Wit, no
! doubt hating to do it, tagged him. Coy
could have gone back to second Wheh
he found Brashear in trouble, but ne
! would not do it Lindsay then ended
| the agonizing period by hlttlng an
easv one down to Miller, who promptly
| threw him out at first and saved the
game for Frisco. -,.z
This sort of business put the kinks
on the Villagers and although they nau
tied the score, they never were ape
to do anything afterwards. In the
eleventh inning Mohler singled 10 rlsiIt;
Nelchofr walked and Tenant moved
the UP peg with sacrlnce;
Perry tore off a double that bounded
to the score board and Mohler ana
Nelchoir registered with the winning
runs. .o If
