40 THE DAILY TIMES.GAZETTE, Thursday, July 16, 1058 BEST GAME OF SEASON SPORTS MENU "Everything from Soup to Nuts" by Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR The league - leading Brantford Red Sox eked out a 2-1 win over Oshawa Merchants after 13 innings of thrill-packed baseball before the If the Oshawa Merchants ever start to get lucky -- they'll zoom to the top of the Inter - County League race in about two full weeks. They dropped a heart- breaking 13-inning decision here last night, heart-breaking because the season's biggest crowd was on hand to see the game between Merchants and the league-leading Brantford Red Sox and also heart- breaking because pitcher Bill Han rahan deserved a better fate. Lee Griffeth, the Brantford hurler didn't deserve to lose either, for that matter, but at that, Hanrahan had more strikeouts, fewer walks and allowed less hits -- so we figure he deserved to win. Both teams played errorless ball. Extra - base blows, two-bag- gers to be more explicit, were the deciding factor and ° they came with runners on bases but what was even more ironic, each of the two-base hits that drove in a Brantford run, was a wrong- field double. Dick Berning was the vietim in each case. The first one he almost caught and from the press box it looked as if they ball had already gone foul but the umps ruled otherwise. The second one, scoring the sin- ning run in the 13th inning, was also hit by a left-handed batter' a hard-hit drive that got past Berning and went to the wall. Ted O'Connor's homer over the' right-centre wall tied the score in the sixth and it was a gruel- ling pitching duel from there to the 13th climax. Hanrahan pitched another great ball game. He chalked up 11 strike- outs and gave up only seven hits ~--two of these in the 13th inning after there were two out. Lee Grif- feth crossed the plate with the winning run himself, to make vic- tory even sweeter for the Brant- ford hurler. Oshawa left 13 run- ners stranded on the bases again-- far too many. Jones, Turk and Imbra each had two hits apiece. Merchants loaded the bases in the first inning and one more hit there would have changed the entire complexion of last night's titantic struggle. Just what happened--or didn't happen in Oshawa's half of the 13th is a matter for much con- jecture this morning and the grandstand managers are having a field day. Butch Lawing got a _ double into the wrong field. (Oshawa's only lucky break of the game) to open the 13th and Fran Dyson then went in to run for the big outfielder. Johnny Imbra came through with a hit to put Dyson on 3rd but he couldn't score. We thought he should have "faked" a spurt for the plate, because if he had drawn the throw -- Imbra was ready to go to second. However, it didn't happen that way. Ted O'Connor bunted on the second pitch -- and if it 'was to have been a sfueeze® play -- some- body either forgot to tell Dyson or he muffed the signal. He didn't move -- Imbra was forced to 2nd and that was one out. That was bad but when Herman Mas- on then bunted and still Dyson wasn't underway for the plate with ghe tying run -- and Mason was thrown out at first, that really blew Oshawa's big chance. Mike Garbark, pinch-hittipg for Dick Berning, slarpmed one into deep centre but Lockington was away back there waiting--and the game was over. 4 : Some of the fans were of the opinion that both O'Connor and | Mason should have been hitting away. In O'Connor's case, if "he I hit into a double play, Dyson could | still have scored and either batter | might have hit a fly to the outfield, which would have let Dyson score | after the catch and so tie up the igame. But if the strategy decided { upon was to bunt -- rather than | hit away for the long fly or another | safety --then Dyson should have been sprinting for the plate. If he had been under way with the pitch | --he'd have scored on either of the |two bunts. It was unfortunate that lit ended this way because it was quite the best ba.l game of the season and a real thriller and en- tertainment treat for the big crowd that turned out. , Other Inter-County results last night saw Kitchener keep right up there with Brantford, winning over London 7-6. Waterloo edged Guelph 1-0 while Galt -- those Terriers are red-hot right now-- defeated St. Thomas 10-6. If Oshawa had won that one last night, not only would they have knocked Brantford back into sec- ond place but the Merchants would have been only one full game out of 4 the place . . , and also they would have been over the .500 Pct mark. That's the big jump for Oshawa, they've been up even at .500 about four times in the past three weeks but have never been quite able to get over the hump and igiprove on .500 Pct. Galt Terriers are creep- ing up again and are only one full game behind Oshawa now. | The Merchants get another. big chance tomorrow. night and it | should see another banner crowd {on hand. The fans have really en- | joyed the two games this week and Friday night finds Waterloo Tigers | visiting Oshawa. It's 'Ladies' | Night" -- which means all ladies are to be admitted free -- provided |they are accompanied by a male | escort. Waterloo may have Al Ger- ringer, former Oshawa Merchants' | pitcher, on the mound here tomor- | row night. Merchants released | Gerringer after signing Eddie | Drapcho, the former Guelph pitch- |er, Drapcho is slated to go to the | mound for Oshawa on Friday night | against Waterloo, although Bud | Ripplemeyer is ready again.

Port Hope got another hit before the inning ended as it turn- ed out but it was mighty close for Durston and a tough one to miss. . . .

After that the Saints went down in 1, 2, 3 order almost every inning. St. Gertrude's got a run in the first on two walks and single. by Piontek and the game stayed at 3-1 for Xt. Gregory's until the fifth when Hardie, Tuak and Pion- tek all scored for the winners. St. Gertrude's added three more runs in the seventh on two walks and two solid hits by Fleming and Ter- williger, 'to clinch the victory. ST.

It was a terrific struggle all the way, a sensational pitching duel Brantford's way., They made the most of their breaks too -- Osh- awa didn't! Merchants had their big chance in the first inning when Jimmie between Bill Hanrahan of Oshawa and Lee Griffeth of Brantford-- with the Oshawa pitcher having the edge in every department but still losing a heart-breaking ver- | dict. Hanrahan fanned 11 batters | as against 8 for Griffeth while the Oshawa pitcher gave up only three biggest crowd of the season, at} walks compared with five by Grif- feth and the hits were nine-to-sev- en in favor of Oshawa. Both teams Jiaved errorless ball for the full 13 innings and there was a spectacular play almost ev- ery inning and often two or three as the two high-class clubs put on this sensational baftle. BREAKS DECIDED IT In a game that close, with both pitcher in top-notch form. it was und to be te breaks that would decide it -- and the breaks went Jones started off with a single and Bill Turk beat out a hit when hi grounder took a dirty bounce an caromed off shortstop Ron Hodar's arm. Ron Ryba fanned but Butch Lawing was walked to fill the bases. Johnny - Imbra grounded, forcing Jones and the plate and Ted O'Connor also grounded out. Each team got a run in the sixth inning. Jim Wilkes singled with one out and scored when Johnny Lockington hit a wrong-field double that Dick Berning almost got to --the umpire ruled it was just in- side the line when Berning tipped it with his glove after a long run. right-centre wall, after two out, to knot the count in the bottom of the sixth. was even greater as both hurlers style. THE LUCKY 13th when he singled after two out, in the 13th inning. He scored from first base when Jim Wilkes hit a wrong-field two-bagger that got past Dick Berning and went to the wall. The story-book finish almost materialized even after th #t.

He didn't do enough of that, as it turned out. Johnny Imbra came through with his second hit of the night, Ted O'Connor watched one strike go by and then bunted on the sec- ond pitch. Dyson didn't ty to come in and Imbra was forced at 2nd base. Then Herman Mason bunted and again Dyson wasn't moving with the pitch and with the Brantford infield playing right up close, he couldn't go after the bunt had been laid down. Mason was thrown out at 1st for thé second out, O'Connor taking 2nd. Manager Mike Garbark came in as a pinch-hitter for Dick Berning z BILL HANRAHAN and slammed a long drive to deep centre but it was right at Johnny Lockington, who was playing deep a single that right-fielder Jim Wilkes fielded quickly, to hold Dy- son at 3rd base. At that, Oshawa had runners on 1st and 3rd with nobody out and it looked as if they would certain- ly at least tie up the game again. --and the game was over. Jones, Turk and Imbra all had two hits for Oshawa with Wilkes, Lockington and Griffeth doing the same for Brantford.
