Caps Knock Off Loop Leaders
SPOKANE, Aug. 5 — Vancouver Capilanos scored three times in the ninth to come from behind to defeat the Western International league-leading Spokane Indians 8-6 tonight.
Buddy Hjelmaa collected all five walks issued by Spoke hurler Wally Kramer, while Bill Reese collected three hits.
Seattle's two latest gifts to the Caps, Paul Carpenter and Hal Saltzman, figured brightly as Carpenter knocked in the tying and winning runs with a single in the ninth, scoring Hjelmaa and Frank Mullens, who doubled. Reese then singled, scoring Carpenter.
The loop-leaders had erupted for four runs in the third on a fielder's choice, two walks, a wild pitcher and Jake Phillips' two-bagger. Four safeties in the eighth set up the local uprising, as singles by Bob Stumpf and Saltzman combined with doubles by Len Tran and Carpenter sent two runners across.
Saltzman gave up 14 hits, walked five and struck out five to pick up his first W.I.L. win.
