BREMERTON, July 28—The Bremerton Bluejackets,who moved into the Western International League lead largely on the strength of their pitching can also slug that baseball.
The Tars unleashed a 22-hit assault on three Salem hurlers tonight to bury the Oregonians beneath a 19-3 margin.
It enabled Bremerton to maintain its two-game lead over Tacoma.
The result was never in doubt as Bremerton led off with a two-run homer by Allan Maul in the first and followed through with eight runs in the second.
Batting stars for the Bluejackets were Lyle Palmer and Jay Ragni with four singles each, Lil Arnerich, with a triple and two singles, and Eddie Samcoff, with a double and two singles.
Dick Sinovic accounted for all Salem runs with a triple and a home run.
John Conant coasted to his 15th victory.
