Writer After a twobase error put him in trouble Bill Diemer walked in the winning run as the Cats shaded San Antonio 65 at La Grave Field Sunday night The victory moved the Cats into third place two games behind the Texas League-leading Missions Dick Gray with a home run single and two bases on balls in his first five times at bat drew the free ticket on a 3-1 count that ended the game and made Mel Waters winning pitcher The Cats' Rudy Paynich and San Antonio's Frank Fanovich both were taken out in the third inning Both relievers pitched two-hit ball Pisoni Drops Drive Diemer walked Jim Koranda at start of the home ninth retired Maury Wills on a foul pop and then pitched to Joe Pignatano who delivered a long fly to center-field James Pisoni one of the best outfielders in the league went back on the ball but let it bounce out of his 'glove Koranda went to third and Pignatano went to second on the error Harry Schwegman batting for Waters drew an intentional walk Gray drew ball one fouled off the second pitch and then watched three straight balls go by to end the game It was the Cats' 7th straight victory Padres Take 4-0 Lead Caffery's lead-off single and three extra-base hits after two were out put the Missions into their 4-0 lead in the first inning Hollmig's line double to short left Pisoni's double to the same field and Segrist's homer over the right-field fence did the damage The Cats shaved the margin to 4-2 in the second on Gray's homer to right with Wills on base Wills had singled Hollmig's homer over the left-field fence at start of the third made it 5-2 for San Antonio and after Paynich walked Pisoni Waters went to the mound for Fort Worth Fanovich also departed In the same inning as Marchio Ozark and Williams led off with singles and Koranda walked forcing in a run Diemer replaced Fanovich and the Cats scored two on Wills' sacrifice fly and Pignatano's infield out This made it a new game with the score 5-5 Both pitchers worked two-hit games for remainder of the route Waters served a single to Caffery In the sixth and a double to Oertel in the eighth Diemer issued singles to Gray in' the fourth and Williams in the eighth He had to work out of bases-loaded emergencies in the sixth and seventh In the sixth it was a base on balls error and hit batsman In the seventh it was three bases on balls the last one intentional BAN ANTONIO FORT WORTH

and his eyes and ears open An old Yankee would have seen some historic batting feats But Don Heffner former Yankee and now manager of the San Antonio Missions credits the Cats' Frank Marchio with having the "greatest day at the plate I've ever seen" Heffner referred to the double-header between the Fort Worth and San Antonio clubs played May 12 when Marchio bagged 7 hits In 9 times at bat with two homers and three doubles for 12 runs batted in "Everytime be 'swung it was a line drive hot enough to carry out of the park if only it had the elevation" Heffner said Jim Texas Leaguers The length

last weekend But Phillips Indiana High School Athletic Association commissioner said he will send a report Monday to the Kansas City headquarters of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Phillips said Loren Chastain principal at Muncie reported Stillwagon told him his plane tickets to Miami were provided by a alumnus Phillips said he's not sure whether such an arrangement would violate any NCAA rule In Miami Coach Andy Gustafson told reporters "The University of Miami did not pay the boy's plane fare here" However Phillips said he had been informed that Gustafson telephoned Still wagon from Chicago in April to make arrangements for the youth to visit Miami Phillips said Stillwagon didn't go at that time on advice of Phillips Phillips said the youth apparently didn't violate any IIISAA rules based on information that he didn't try out for either football or basketball at Miami Those are the only tryouts prohibited while an Indiana athlete is still competing in any high school sports Phillips said he is reporting circumstances of the case to the NCAA so it can determine whether any collegiate recruiting rules were violated Kuss vs Koomuka!
