Saturday night in Southern California brings together two ne’er do well teams. The DC club is marginally enjoying baseball life a bit better away from the Capital and look to make it 2 straight versus the Angels.
The Senators jump right into it as Bob Severine parachutted a double between three fielders leading off the game. Jim King drew a one out walk to set up a true threat. Bob Chance worked a free pass to load the bases but the rally looked over when McMullen sent a two hopper to short that ole’d into two runs. Casanova singled, putting the Nats up 3-0. Bottom 1, Moore got two quick outs before Casanova bobbled a nubber opening the door. Two singles later, the Halos got their first run, the RBI going to Knoop. Bottom 3, Knoop followed a pair of singled to close the deficit to one. Bottom 4, Johnstone singles and Fregosi atoned for his earlier sin by depositing a Moore offering into the left field seats. Bottom 5, Don Mincher greeted new pitcher Bob Priddy with a solo shot adding to the Cherubs lead. Bottom 8, two singles and a free pass set up Knoop again and, sure enough, he flared a single to right center for 2 more runs. Rickey Clark was solid albeit a tad wild going 7 before yielding to Minnie Rojas who got the last 6.
