Big Inning Disastrous

Big Inning Disastrous
Bright is second to Hinton
In home runs with IL and run
nerup to Hinton's SO runs bat
ted in with a. They are the
power hitters while Retzer is
more Of q line drive hitter, al
though he has six homers and
seven doubles.
The Senators three leading
hitters and Jim King, who
snapped out Of his slump with
q ringing double and his ninth
home run, could not overcome
another big inning for the op-
position last night.
The Tigers sent II men to
bat in scoring five in the
fourth, marking the third time
in the last four games that
the Senators opponents have
batted around In an inning.
Tom Cheney started and walked
six. hit one batter and gave
up two singles In 32s innings.
The Senators pulled within
two runs on Hinton's two-run
homer in the seventh, but Don
Rudolph, pitching for the
fourth time in seven days, gave
up six hits and three runs in
the last two innings.
King R0bs Cash
Rookie HOWE Koplitz, who
has won five and lost none for
the Tigers in q short stay last
fall and since getting out of
the Army recently, was the
winner, thanks to Bruton. The
Senators smacked Koplitz for
IL hits and there was activity
in the Tiger bullpen most Of
the game. Sam Jones finally
came in to retire the last two
after Kings homer followed q
pinch single by Bud Zipfel.
King also contributed the
Senators fielding gem Of the
night when he made O daring
run and stab Of Norm Cash's
liner in the first inning. He
caught it and doubled Don
Buddin off first. King made
another daring try In the ninth
on Dick McAuliffe's liner, but
1t went past him for q triple.
Indians Here Tonight
Misery loves company, they
say, and there will be plenty Of
1t tonight in d. C. Stadium.
The Indians, who have lost
% Of their last 81 games and
were scoreless the last two
games against Boston, come in
for a three-game series. There
Is another game tomorrow
night. which is Knot-Hole
night. and one Sunday after
noon.
Dave Stenhouse, who lasted
just two thirds Of an inning
Wednesday. will try again for
No. IL. with Pete Ramos sched-
uled to work for the Indians.
The last time Washington met
the Indians, they were talking
pennant. Now they're Is games
back and out Of the first d.
vision.
NOTES.-The Senators have
used 81 pitchers in their six
game losing streak. Only Ed
Hobaugh was effective in re-
lief last night. Steve Boros
Of the Tigers was robbed Of a
base hit in the second inning.
His blooper to right fell in
safely, but Vic Wertz held up,
thinking the ball might be
caught, and Danny O'Connell
forced Wertz at second.
Buddin, who has not hit a
homer this year, scared Cheney
in the fourth when he hit two
fouls into the upper deck with
the bases loaded. One was foul
by a very slight margin.
Tom Ferrick, the Tigers bull
pen coach, took credit for
Bofos' double that fell between
Hinton and Jim Piersau in the
second game Wednesday night.
Ferrick yelled "I've got it" as
Piersall and Hinton neared the
ball close to the Detroit bullpen.
Hinton thought Piersall yelled
and SHE'D away and the. ball
fell in for q double. 1.-THE first
run batted in Of my career"
Ferrick said in retelling it yes
terday. Claude Osteen and
Steve Hamilton will pitch for
the Senators tomorrow and
Sunday.
