Mar. 18-Marty Keough's bat
continued to smoke out base
hits today as the Senators,
aided by the Detroit "B" teams
jittery infield, won their fifth
exhibition victory in seven
starts, 5-2.' All of the Wash
ington runs were unearned.
Keough, who received a fat
bonus when he signed with the
Red SoX nine years ago, raped
out four hits in five trips, in-
cluding triple and double
the only extra base hits of the
day. In five exhibition games,
the swift outfielder has 13 hits
in 20 trips for a $50 averageA
and his collection includes three
doubles and two triples.
WOodeshick Clicks
Outstanding, too, was the
performance of Hal Woode-
shick, southpaw plucked from
the old Washington clubs list
in the expansion draft. Wood
eShick worked the first five
innings, gave up only two hits,
struck out two and walked one.
Marty Kutyna, who entered
the game with an earned-run
average of 1900, pitched the
final four innings and yielded
both Tiger runs in the ninth.
Kutyna, 24-year-old right
handler drafted from the Kan
sas City list, turned in a cred
liable performance. He loaded
the bases with nobody out in
the ninth inning, but got Andy
Kosco to hit into double play
to take off the pressure.
The only time Keough failed
to hit was in the fifth inning,
but he made first base anyway
on an error by First Baseman
Dick Gernert, who allowed the
ball to run up his chest.
Shortstop Coot Veal, playing
his second game after nursing
a back ailment, singled to right
for the first Of his three hits,
sending Keough to third. The
run scored when Joe Hicks
forced Veal, and a scoreless tie
was broken.
Comedy of Errors
The sixth inning was a COM
edy of Detroit errors. Billy
Klaus walked. Danny O'Connell
hit a ground ball to Second
BaSeman Chuck Cottier, who
threw to Shortstop Dick Nc
Auliffe in a try for a forceout.
However, Klaus beat the throw,
and in an attempt to get O'Con-
nell at first McAuliffe threw
over Gernert's head for a two
base error that scored Klaus
and put O'Connell on second.
Pete Daley hit a ground ball
to McAuliffe, who threw this
one into the dirt, O'Connen
going to third.
Then Catcher Ron Witucki,
who had just relieved Harry
Chit behind the plate because
Of the latter's finger injury,
and Third Baseman Bob Mice
lotta caught O'Connell in a trap.
But Micelotta threw the ball
into the dirt and O'Connell
scored.
KeOugh Triples
Keough then tripled to right
center to score Daley. Marty
, came in with the final run on
Vears single through the box.
The Tigers, who had three
hits going into the final
inning, doubled their output.
Gernert and Witucki hit sue
} ceSSive singles, and Kutyna
walked Cottier. Kosco hit into
the double play, one run scor-
} ing. Pinch-hitter Norm Cash
: drove in the second run with a
single to right. Kutyna shut the
, door by leaping high for Nc
! Auliffe's bouncer and throwing
: him out.
