BREMERTON, Sept. 2—Jim Probst hurled a five-hitter as the Victoria Athletics blanked the Bremerton Bluejackets, leaders of the Western International League, tonight, 4-0.
The win was Probst's tenth of the season against eight defeats and his first shutout. He struck out nine and was backed up by flawless fielding.
Keith Simon struck out ten for Bremerton but gave up seven hits to Propst's five. It was his ninth loss aghainst 18 wins.
The first two runs came in the third inning when Sal Recca and Propst worked Simon for walks. Charlie Balassi singled in one run and the other came after the catch of Vic Buccola's outfield fly. Singles by Babe Jensen, Dick Morgan and Recca provided the third run in the fourth and Jack Palmer's double was converted by Jensen's single in the fifth to wind up the scoring.
