The West Coast ball club continues traveling East, looking for better results than what was achieved in Cleveland where they lost three of four. The hosts,themselves, look to overcome the disappointing split of the weekend encounters.

Thus one is shaping up as a true pitchers duel, sophomore Tom Phoebus keeping the Halos off the board leaving multiple runners on in three of the first 4 frames. Journeyman George Brunet faced the minimum Birds through 4, only a walk to Aparicio tainting his dealings. Brooks got the first safety off Brunet and Boog followed with one of his own. A force and double play erased that opportunity. Phoebus for his part, got 12 in a row in the middle innings. Bottom 7, Aparicio lead off with a hustle double. Frank Robby drew a walk putting 2 on, posing a real threat. Brooks and Boog skied out bringing up Davy Johnson who ripped one down the line in left driving in the two runners and putting the O’s on top. Phoebus was still dealing in the 8, whiffing the first 2 batters before walking Paul Schaal. Early Player Of The Month candidate Jim Fregosi rocketed one over the head of Blefary in left, chasing Schaal home and head first sliding into third making this a one run game. Mgr Bauer took the ball from a tiring Phoebus, bringing in Moe Drabowsky with the tying run 90 feet away and lead run coming to the plate in the form of Jay Johnstone. Jay had no chance, whiffing to end the inning. Moe set the Cherubs down on order in the 9th saving Tommy’s third win. California now has lost four straight. Fregosi’s three bagger stretched his hitting streak to 8 games. Once again Brunet notched a quality start only to fall short.
