Was ever game in this fashion
played. was ever game in this fashion
won?" TO paraphrase old Bill Shake
speare and bring him up to date.
Surely its like occurs not often in a
decade and those fans who saw PEN
dleton win yesterday from Walla Wal
la by a 1912 score saw some local
baseball history.
Runs and hits were as thick as star
points in the milky way and they came
in flOcks. Three times did Walla
Walla fill the bases and then clean
them for three run lead and three
times did the doughty Buckarooes ov-
ercome that lead and step into the
clearing The last time it happened
in the ninth inning and therefore the
Bears had never another grab at the
honey
Such game and such an ending.
With Cap Brown and his bunch two
runs in the lead when the Bucks came
to bat in the ninth. victory looked as
distant as fly on the horizon and
yet more far-off when the first man
went down. But after the second out
had been made. the tying and winning
score was registered and the fans
| went plumb nutty with the joy of it.
Shader. the little cub Bear pitcher,
was a plaything for the Buckarooes
and twenty hits should have won an
easy victory. However. both Peet
and Osborne had a way of being wild
at critical times and their support
twice put them in holes from which
they could not pull out. And
that accounts for the fact that the
Bears almost won with only nine hits
| to their credit
This is the way it all happened:
| The visitors started from the
jump and rolled up their first triplet
Peet whitfield Johnson but he walked
Childers. Davis Strengthened out a
bender and sent the ball on a line to
left. 1t sailed straight at Reid but
! he failed to squeeze. Thereupon Mar
! tint waited out four wide ones and
| the bases were full Sheely fouled
out but Lundstrum came through with
mighty clout to left for three bases
! and three runs counted. Kelly ground
| ed out and the inning ended
Though Lodell poled out double
in the Pendleton half of the frame
he could not be pushed around Score
Walla Walla 3, Pendleton 0.
, 1t was in the second that the Bucks
headed the Bears for the first time
| Naughton. first up, leaned on an Of
fering with some force and he circled
! the bases before the ball could be
brought back. McKune flew oft but
King sent scorching single through
| third. Augustus followed with a wal
lop in the same direction and the
score was tied when Peet sent the
spheriod into the center for three
bags The bases were empty now but
and took first Lodell sent him to
third with a single and he scored on
Reid's infield out. Lodell was on
third by this time but he died there
when Haworth flew out to Kelly
Score. Pendleton 5, Walla Walla 3.
The next inning was an exact re-
verse of the second, Walla Walla get
| ting the six hits and five runs and
Pendleton the blank. Childers start
ed things with a bingle through Sec
ond. Davis breezed but Martini and
Sheely both delivered safely Childers
| scoring on the latter's hit. When
Peet walked Lundstrum and filled the
! bases. he was derricked for Osborne
Kelly was up and the chief had him
all but famed when he delivered
measly little poke over the infield
Brown followed this with a two base
drive to center which cleaned the
bags Shader struck out but Johnson
singled Brown was held at third but
| died there when Childers flew out
Score. Wal.a Walla s, Pendleton 5.
RAIDER started the fourth with
three sack blow and scored on Reid's
double through first Then it was
that little Shader handed the Bucks
a tally. Haworth laid an easy one to
him, he fielded it perfectly, and with
twenty minutes to put it to first, he
sailed it abouut six feet over Tallpine
Shee!y into the bleachers, Reid scor-
ing. This ended it for Naughton
grounded out and Terry famed.
Score, Walla Walla s, Pendleton z.
In the next canto. the Bucks stepped
into the lead for the second time. King
breezed but Augustus made second on
hit that would have fallen in a well
had not Martini and Lundstrum
crossed each other. Osborne ground
ed out. Augustus going to third on the
play. RAIDER drew comp and beat 1t
for second with the ball In Shader's
hands This so excited the juvenile
chucker that he threw wide to second
and Augie romped home. RAIDER went
to third on the play and came home
when Lodell came through with his
third hit and second double OF the
day Reid flew out Score, Pendle-
ton Q, Walla Walla 8.
There was nothing more doing un-
I'll the eighth. Walla Walla had
gone through four innings without
