Raffensberger
Allows ) Of II
Hits in Ninth
Eddie Yost Flies Out
With Two on Base
And Three Runs in
By Burton Howkins
Stor Stoff Correspondent

TAMPA, Fla, Mar. "a. - The
Mats surged back today from a
TO deficit with a late rally which
had the potential tying run at the
plate with two out in the ninth
inning, but Eddie Yost's brave bid
for a game-locking homer was
hauled in and Washington went
down to IA defeat by the Gin
cinnati Reds.
For seven innings, the Mats
were helpless against the tantal-
izing curves of Ken Raffensberger.
a left handler who won IA games
last season. He had them BANKED
on four well-spaced hits and was
coasting with a commanding lead,
seemingly set to become the first
pitcher to travel nine innings this
spring.
The Mats pried their first run
from Ken in the eighth when Len
Okrie beat out a scratch single.
went to third on Cass Michaels'
pinch-single and scored on Yost's
outfleld fly. With one out in the
ninth, Faffenberger suddenly lost
his cunning and into the inning
the Mats damned five of their II
hits to score three runs.
Robertson Starts Rally.
Sherry Robertson launched the
belated uprising by beating out a
bunt. Sam Mele and Gene Verble
singled to produce a run before
slump-shackled Sam Dente flied
out.
Okrie, unaccustomed to batting
brilliance, drilled a single to CEN
ter, scoring Mele. Manager Bucky
Harris PERMITTED his third pitcher.
Julio Moreno to bat and Moreno
responded with another single to
center which scored Verble and
sent Raffensberger from the prem
ises in favor of Highlander Frank
Smith.
Yost made a gallant try trying
to wipe out the Reds advantage.
He slammed a Smith pitch to
deep left, but Bob Usher scurried
over to take it for the final out.
Up to that point the Mats were
a well-whipped. considerably en-
barrassed outfit. Their pitching
wasn't commendable and their
fielding lapses cost three runs.
Merriman Hits Homer.
Bob Schifing'S dobule and
Usher's single gave Cincinnati C.
run in the second inning off Con-
ME Marrero and Lloyd Merriman
hiked it to 20 in the third with
a home run over the picket fence
in right field. Ted Kluszewski't
double, wild pitch and Schef-
f1ng's grounder gave the Reds
another run in the fourth.
Then the Mats, with a poor dis
play af1eld, had the 1,279 GUS
toners in stitches in the sixth,
lifted a routine fly to
center off Mickey Harris on which
Robertson rushed in only to dis
cover he should have retreated.
The ball plopped behind him fot
a double. Verble's wild throw after
Grady Hatton's grounder
pulled Mickey Vernon off first and
it was scored as a single in an OUT
burst of liberalism with Kluszew-
ski shifting to third. Ted scored
later after Virgil Stallcup flied to
right.
Reds Run up Score.
That sort of shoddiness con-
tinued in, the seventh. Merriman
doubled and came around on in
field grounders by Bobby Adams
and Johnny Wyrostek. At that
point, Dente contributed a miser-
able muff off KluszeWski's pop
fly and Scheffing followed with a
homer over the centerfield fence.
Merriman and Schefing each
hit home run and double, while
Kluszewski got two doubles to lead
the Reds 10-hit attack.
