Bud Zipfel clouted a tower
ing double off the centerfield
fence in the bottom of the
18th inning last night to score
rookie Ron Stillwell from sec
ond and give the Senator's an
overtime triumph over the Red
Sox, 4-3, at D. G. Stadium.
Zipfel's hit was off Bill Mac
Leodl probably the only sub
marining southpaw in the Ma
jors.
With one out in the 18th
Stillwen smacked his third hit,
a single to right, and Chuck
Hinton singled to center. Zip
fel picked on MacLeod's first
pitch and bounced it off the
wall as Gary Geiger gave fu-
tile pursuit.
A crowd of ABA plus 938
members of The Stars Knot
hole Club watched.
Kutyna Wins Fifth
Marty Kutyna, sixth pitcher
and 23d player to be used by
the Senators, picked up his
fifth victory with a. one-inning
relief job. Macleod, who had
pitched only % of an inning
this season, was the loser.
The Senators came from be-
hind with three runs in the
eighth, two of them on Pinch
hitter Jim Kings two-out sin
gle. The Red Sox tied the score
in the ninth off Don Rudolph
when Carroll Hardy tripled to
left-center with two out.
Strangely, the Senators show
a profit in the extra-inning
games despite their last-place
standing and long list of one
run defeats. They have won
eight, lost seven and tied one
in overtime contests.
Wilbur Wood, a $4,000
Boston bonus boy, who reported
from the Red Sox' York Farm
club, had a no-hitter against
the Senators for 325 innings
and a shutout for seven.
The Red Sox picked up two
early runs off Bob Baird, a
rookie southpaw, who gave up
six hits, three Of them cheap,
and a walk in two innings plus
facing three batters in the
third.
O'COnneH Starts Rally
Pinch-hitter Danny O'Con-
nell led off the eighth with a
single, and after John Schaive,
another pinch-hitter, flied out,
Stillwell singled to left. scoring
O'Connell. Stillwell took second
when Carl Yastremski bobbled
the ball.
Hinton walked. Zipfel who
was hitless in five trips before
his game-winning hit, flied
deep to center, Stillwell taking
third.
The Red Sox brought in
righthander Mike Fornieles to
pitch to Don Lock, but manager
Mickey Vernon switched to Jim
King, a lefthander, to bat for
Lock. Hinton stole second, and
King scored the runners with
a single to center.
Ed Hobaugh had pitched six
shutout innings in relief of
Baird and would have been the
winner if Don Rudolph had
protected the lead. But after
Ken Hamlin made a superb
play on Pete Runnels in the
ninth, Chuck Schilling singled.
PumpSie Green batted for For
nieles and fouled out, but Har-
dy hit one off the fence in front
of the Boston bullpen, scoring
Schilling with the tying run.
The Senators stranded a run
ner. in the 10th and two in the |
11th.
The Red Sox did not get a hit |
in the extra innings off Jim
Hannah, Steve Hamilton and
Kutyna, but had three base
runners when Hannah walked
three.
The Senator's % players in
cluded Harry Bright, who had
been excused for the evening
to attend a dinner. He has not
been playing because of pulled
rib cartileges. He walked for
Ed Brinkman in the 18th after
returning to the stadium from
the dinner.

Fan Club came through in big
league style with gifts for
Chuck and his wife. Attend

ton observation-disclosures con-
sole that popped Chuck'S eye
balls. Robert Washington,

scrolls. Chuck received al
sport coat from York Haber-
