VICTORIA, June 9—The Wenatchee Chiefs mounted a six-run rally in the ninth tonight, but it was too little, too late, as the Victoria Athletics pulled off a 13-7 win.
The A's Frank Logue had given up on five singles until the ninth. Les Dalrymple and Frank Gardner smacked home runs. Chuck Cronin's homer, followed by a double, single, walk and an error accounted for six runs before a man was retired. But Logue stayed in the game and finished to gain the win.
Wenatchee briefly held the lead, getting a run in the first inning. But singles by Archie Wilson, Sal Recca and Charlie Balassi, Babe Jensen's double, a walk and Jess McWilliams' error produced four Victoria runs in the second inning. Victoria added three in the third, and one in the fourth on Wilson's homer to centre.
Jack Palmer smacked a two-run homer in sixth and cleared the left-field fence on the rise 360 feet from home plate with two men on in the eighth.
Wenatchee ............ 100 000 006—7 11 3
Victoria ................. 043 102 03x—13 14 3
Cronin and Dalrymple; Logue and Recca.
TACOMA, June 9—Salem made it three in a row over the league-leading Tacoma Tigers by defeating them 8-7 in their Western International Baseball game here tonight.
It is the Senators' seventh straight win.
A four-run uprising in the first of the fifth put the Oregonians in front and they never were headed.
Cal McIrvin not only marked up his eighth victory against three losses, but the Salem pitcher had a triple and a single in four times at bat. Larry Lee, Tacoma third baseman, topped the hitting with a triple and two singles in four trips.
In the fifth inning, umpire Jerry Matieu ordered manger Jack Wilson out of the game when Wilson protested a decision at second base.
Salem ............. 001 240 001—8 12 2
Tacoma .......... 011 220 001—7 16 2
McIrvin and Stumpf; Gleason, Venturelli (6) and Rossi.
