VICTORIA, Sept. 3—Cooled off by a 16-hit Bremerton attack in the afternoon game, the Victoria Athletics rebounded behind the effective hurling of Del Owens to trim the Bluejackets, 6-1, in the nightcap.
After spotting the Tars to a one-run lead on a walk, fielder's choice and Al Ronning's triple in the second in the nightcap, the A's came back to knot the count in their half of the inning on Babe Jensen's single and the first of two doubles by Sal Recca.
Lloyd Hittle and Owens then hooked up in a classy pitching duel until the Athletics broke up the game in the sixth. A double by Owens and singles by Archie Wilson, Jensen, Lou Kubiak, Charlie Balassi and Vic Buccola were spaced around three errors by the Bremerton outfield to give the A's five runs and drive Hittle from the mound.
In the opener, Eddie Samcoff and Frank Volpi homered and they, and Eddie Murphy, each batted in three runs.
Victoria scored three in the fourth on singles by Jack Palmer and Russ Walseth, Recca's double and Wilson's 25th triple. They added a run on Palmer's double in the fifth, scoring Buccola, and Balassi's tenth homer in the ninth.
The teams played to a combined attendance of over 4,600 that raised the season mark to 132,013, surpassing last year's total.
A's notes — Archie Wilson broke three records. His triple in the afternoon game was his 25th, breaking his own record. His total base production is 380, breaking his own record set when he cracked Smead Jolley's old mark of 356, established in 1940. And it was his 225 hit, breaking Jolley's mark set in 1940.
