"Page 28-Austin, Texas Friday, June 4, 1971 The Austin American Taylor Aims for 2nd State Trip in 3 Years Ducks' Last Hurdle: Edcouch-Elsa SWC Baseball 'Horns Flood UPI Selection III Dave Elmendorf as outfielders, Taylor right fielder Sterling Wood continued his domination of playoff pitching foes in the opening game by banging out two safeties in three trips to the plate. The two hits boosted Wood's playoff hit production to eight in 11 appearances for a .727 playoff average while his season average is now near .350. Duck catcher Mike Czimsky, batting .394 going into the regional playoff series, also enhanced his average in the series opener with one hit in two trips while shortstop Ken Cmerek went one-for-three to maintain his average around the .338 mark. Edcouch-Elsa's leading stickmen, shortstop Richard Leal and Silva hitting at .316 and .300 going into the series were blanked by Reichenbach. After right fielder Arturo Flores singled in the second would put the David Krueger coached aggregation in next week's state tournament.

An Edcouch-Elsa win will will force a third game to be played at 8 p.m. Saturday at Beeville Junior College. In the first meeting of the two teams Duck hurling ace Mickey Reichenbach twirled a two-hitter at the Yellow Jackets and got credit for the 2-1 victory at Austin's Nelson Field. Reichenbach probably will see first base duty in the second game of the set, however, with Jerry Tallas, a strong-arm lefthander, slated to toe the mound for the Ducks as they go for the clincher. Henry Silva, who worked the entire opening game, will probably be coach Javier Gutierrez' choice to toil again for the Yellow Jackets.

Silva threw a five-hitter at the Ducks earlier in the week, but inning of the Tuesday fray, Reichenbach retired the next 16 men in order as his teammates came hack with single runs in the fifth and sixth innings to ice the victory and overcome a 1-0 deficit they faced after the first frame. Silva has a 12-6 mound record while Tallas will enter, the battle with a 7-0 season log, his most recent victory being a 10-2 decision over Plesanton in the final game of the bidistrict series at Seguin last Saturday. Edcouch-Elsa advanced to the regional championship series by winning District 16AAA with a 6-2 record, and a two-straight sweep of Flour Bluff. The Yellow Jackets now own a 13-10 season log after the Tuesday loss to the Ducks. Taylor advanced to this stage of the campaign by rolling through District 13AAA without a defeat and ousting Pleasanton in bidistrict in a two-game sweep.

The Ducks now own a gaudy 27-2 season record, best mark of any of the eight teams remaining in contention for the Class AAA state championship. rT-'J K- Randy Walker of Texas Tech as utility outfielder and "Texas Paul Czerwinski as the third pitcher.
