The third round will be played tomorrow and the finals will be Monday. the locals but was relieved in the second by Cornelius Bumpus. Bumpus too couldn't find the plate so Santa Cruz came in with Dennis McNeely. McMeely worked effectively from the second to the fifth when he was relieved by Mike Oliveiri who finished the inning.

The game was called at the end of five as darkness began to envelop the field. Santa Cruz scored its first run in the third inning. Dan Singer led off with a base on pitching of Buckner and the hitting of Erickson. Buckner scattered five hits, walked only one and had good support behind him. Erickson had a single and a two-run homer in the fifth.

Scotts Valley won, 8-0. Scotts Valley only got three hits, but they took advantage of six walks and six errors by the Giants to score their eight tallies. The Senators scored twice on two errors, a walk and Erickson's single in the first. The Eagles came back to make it 3-2 in the same frame on hits by Buddy Sipin and Mike Butier. Then Scotts Valley iced the contest in the fourth on an error, three walks and a single by Sam Nigh.

Wilson poked two homers over the leftfield wall to drive in four of his team's five runs as the Aptos White Sox defeated the Eagles 5-2. Winning pitcher Fennell allowed the Giants only three singles and struck out seven, while loser Rickie Rubbottom fanned eight and passed three. Rubbottom gave up two safties in the first frame, one of the hits was a two- run home run by Wilson. In the third inning Wilson tagged another two-run blast to make the score 5-1. The Giants got their hits in the second, fourth, and fifth innings, but could only score in the fourth when Phil Caput singled in Jim Evans, who had walked.

4 gridders as you are ever likely to see on a foqtball field, were held to a net minus 34 yards from the line of scrimmage. Time and time again Seahawk linemen crashed through to throw the visitors for large chunks of lost yardage. Offensively the locals were not up to the excellence of their defensive work. While the Seahawks were able to grind out 176 yards almost exclusively on the ground they were never able to sustain any long drive. First Santa Cruz score came near the end of the first quarter when a stray pass from center shot out of the grasp of intended punter Tyrne Williams.

The locals took possession on the Golden Gate nine-yard line. Ob the first play, McWiiliams spun over right guard and churned his way into the end xone for the tally. Bert Watson's conversion attempt was low. Midway through the second quarter, another Golden Gate pass from center went awry, sailing out of the end zone for a safety and two points for Santa Cruz. Down 8-0, the visitors got back into the ball game near the end of the first half.

The Seahawks had driven down to the Golden 10-yard line and were threatening to widen their lead. An attempted hand-off by quarterback Dave Coe somehow got into the hands of Oaklander Lionel Hankens, a 200-pound fullback, who raced past the startled locals for 90 yards and the only visitor score of the evening. Considering they operated at a minus 60 yards from the scrimmage line, the Golden Gaters were getting off well to be trailing by an 8-6 margin as the half ended. Santa Cruz wrapped up the tilt in the fourth quarter when Frank Cassas picked off a Golden Gate aerial and returned to the visi anta Cruz WHEEL Alignment 250 RIVER STREET Phono, (i A 3-8291 PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE By Th Atiociated Pre W.
