RAINIERS
WIN PAIR
FROM SACS
By JIM HIBBART
(Associated Press Sportswriter)
It still looks like an Oakland
schoo-in for the Pacific Coast
League pennant today, but those
rampaging San Diego Padres are
closing ground fast.
While Oakland was splitting with
San Francisco, the Padres won two
more from' the hapless Portland
Beavers yesterday by scores of 4 to
4 and 1 to 0. San Diego now trails
the Oaks by 5'-i games.
The shutout went to A1 Olsen via
a three hitter in the seven inning
finale. It was his ITth triumph of
the campaign,»and it snapped the
hitting streak of Portland’s Luis
Marquez at 20 games.
Garrison finishes were the order
of the day at Los Angeles and
Seattle. A 10th inning homer by
Chuck Stevens gave Hollywood a
4 to 3 victory over the Angels in
their second game; Tod Davis lofted
one over the fence in the bottom of
the ninth to give the Rainiers a 4
to 3 conquest of Sacramento in their
opener.
Davis’ round tripper was his sec
ond of the contest. He tagged it on
the first pitch by reliefer Ken
Gables and with one aboard. Seattle
also won the afterpiece, 8 to 6, with
a two run sixth inning.
Stevens led off the 10th with his
homer after the Hollywoods had tied
up the scheduled seven inning af
fair with an unearned tally in the
seventh. The Angels took the opener,
6 to 4, via catcher Ray Cash’s three
run homer in the sixth frame.
At San Francisco, A1 Gettel
chucked a five hitter in behalf of
Oakland in the second game and
whipped the Seals, 5 to 1, while his
mates raked A1 Lien and Con Demp
sey for 11 blows. San Francisco won
the opener, 11 to 9, on Brooks Hold
er’s two-run double in the seventh.
