Zurich Citizens News, 1959-08-26, Page 7Ir 'WEDNESDAY,. AUGUST 26, 1959 ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS PAGE SEVEN John Wilson's Grand Slam Home Run Wins Wednesday's Game For Zurich A grand -slam homer by catcher John Wilson in the seventh in- ning, with two out, gave the Zu- rich Lumberkings an 8-4 victory over the Mitchell Lincolns in their best -of -seven playoffs for the Hu- ron -Perth League championship, to tie the series at one game each. The game was played in Zurich last Wednesday night, before the largest crowd of the season. Close Battle Up untilthe seventh inning the game was nip and tuck all the way, with both teams taking the lead at various stages. All four of the Lincolns runs were of the unearned variety. • The visitors went one run up in the second inning and added another in the fourth before the locals bit the score sheet. In the last of the fifth Zurich exploded for three big runs, when Pete Masse reached first on a single, went to second on a wild pitch, and then scored on Arn Meyer's double. After George Parker got on as a hit batter, Doug O'Brien reached first on a fielder's choice, and then stole second, before Dan- ny Trushinski lined out a single to score both O'Brien and Meyer. After two were out in the sixth, Murphy managed to reach sec- ond on an error,, and then score on Brown's double, to again tie the score. In the last half of the sixth Zurich scored one run to take a lead again, on singles by Don O'Brien and John Wilson, and a double by Pete Masse.

The Big Blow In the last of the seventh the lid blew off the ball game, when four big runs were scored, after two were out. George Parker was hit by the pitcher, Don O'Brien singled, and then Bill Yungblut was intentionally walked to load the bases. The strategy backfired for Mitchell, when the next bat- ter, John Wilson, smashed out his four -run homer to deep right cen- tre, entre. The ball crossed the race track at the north end of the ball field. The big rally was all the Lumberkings needed to salt away the victory. Masse Stars Pete Masse, big right fielder for the locals, had a great night at the plate, smashing out a sin- gle, double and triple, Danny Trushinski, John Wilson and Don O'Brien each had two hits for Zurich. Pitcher Buster Brown was the only Mitchell hatter to hit safely more than once, he had two for three, Masse's triple in the eighth was a long drive to deep left field, which also crossed the race track. Arn Meyer, on the moundfor the locals, was very effective, giving up only nine scattered hits in the nine inning contest. He gave up only one base on balls, and struck out seven. His double in the fifth was a big help in the 'Kings' victory.
