WENATCHEE, July 21—Tacoma continued to pace the Western International League parade today—thanks to Vince Lazor's seven-inning relief mound chore.
The Tigers topped Wenatchee 8-4 tonight to stay a half game ahead of Bremerton.
It didn't look too good for Tacoma when Wenatchee took a 3-0 lead in the second inning as Ken Clary gave up a pair of bingles and walked three. But the pace-setters tied it up with three in the third, including Vito De Vito's two-run homer, and Lazor, taking over the mound in the same frame, held the Chiefs to a single tally thereafter. Tacoma sewed it up in the seventh with another three-run burst.
