It was visions of Comiskey Park in Chicago, where explosive scoreboards originated, when Winona Athletics' Ditcher, Jon Kosidowski, was rocked for home runs off the bats of Doug Sauer and Loren Bcnz. While the scoreboard flashed on and off in each instance, the usual array of July 4th fireworks were detonated around the exterior of the park and occasionally within the playing area.

In addition to the circuit clouts by Sauer and Ben, the Merchants pounded out ten other hits and breezed to a 7-1 triumph in the second and final meeting of the league season for 1 third and Benz at second, and one run already across, Kosidowski decided to issue an intentional walk to Sauer to load the bases and set up a force situation at any base. But McBce stepped out of position before the first pitch was released which constitutes a balk, and Youngbauer a awarded home. Kosidowski, having dispensed with the strategy, came in with a fast ball for his next offering, and Sauer, who hit for Winona Slate's national tourney team this spring, blasted it some 385 feet over the fence in leftccnter to make the score 5-0. The winners collected a pair of Insurance tallies in the top of the ninth, one coming in on Youngbauer's sacrifice fly and the other on Benz line shot homer to left, his third hit of the game. Rader gave up a total of sev.

en walks but was able to pitch his way out of trouble repeatedly. He lost his bid for a shutout in the bottom of the seventh inning after giving up a base on balls to Bob Welch, and suc-sive singles to Jim Yahnke and Gary Grob. ception of veteran player-coach Fred Beck. Having played exhibition games against Pepin, the two previous nights in addition to an 1IVL tilt against Lansing, Iowa, Sunday, the Merchants were noticeably sharper than their opponents. It was the first game for the Athletics since they lost to Lansing 8-7 nine days before.

kosidowski and Merchants' righthander Paul Rader were hooked up in scoreless duel for the first three innings. But Benz and Sauer opened the top of the fourth with back-to-back singles. After Steve Wiltgen forced Bcnz at third for the first out, Sauer stole third to put runners on at the corners. Wiltgen was then nailed trying to steal second but he succeeded in obstructing the second baseman for the Athletics, Steve Loshok. enough so that Sauer was able to race home from third on the play with the first score of the game.

A RARELY-called catcher's balk charged to Jerry McBce of the Athletics proved disastrous in the following inning. With Jeff Youngbauer on at While the Winona Merchant! were asserting themselves in the Hiawatha Valley League over the extended holiday week-end. New Albin, Iowa, continued along its winning trek in the Tri-State League. The Merchants walloped Lansing 11-0 Sunday behind Fred Beck's shutout pitching, then split non-league tilts with Pepin, in successive nights, winning Sunday night 5-2 and losing Monday night 4-2, before posting a convincing 7-1 verdict against the Winona Athletics Tuesday night. New Albin disposed of win-less West Salem 9-2 Sunday as winning pitcher Earl Benson tossed a six-hitter and fanned 15.

Kerry Darling belted a pair of home runs for the winners, and teammate Don Imhoff stroked a double and a homer. Tuesday New Albin crushed Lansing 16-2.
