Pressure On Bremerton
By Associated Press
This is the week the pressure is on—but it's all on Bremerton.
The Western International League runner-up opened its week-long 10-game home-and-home series with Tacoma's pace-setters Sunday by dropping both ends of a doubleheader 4-1 and 7-2.
The twin loss, six in seven starts, left the Jackets four and a half games behind the Tigers and only a game ahead of Victoria's third place Challengers.
Spokane also suffered its reversals, dividing a twin bill with Wenatchee and falling out of the first division in favor of Vancouver. Spokane bumped Wenatchee 3-2 in the opener but bowed 18-3 in the second game.Yakima and Salem also split the day's only other double-bill. Yakima edging a 6-5 win in seven innings hut bowing 5-0 to Cal McIrvin's four-hit pitching in the nine-inning nightcap.
Both Victoria and Vancouver were idle.
