Bremerton Homers the Feature in 11-4 Win
VICTORIA - Bremerton's slugging Bluejackets pounded out an 11-4 decision over the Victoria Athletics behind the 14 strikeout hurling of big John Marshall.
Southpaw Ray Fortier made his first home appearance for the Victorians and ran into difficulties in the third and seventh innings when he fed home run pitches to Bill Reese and Joe Gedzius, each time with two runners aboard. The circuit clouts were the features of four-run rallies in each case.
Victoria chalked up three runs off the curveballing Marshall in the fourth on singles by Bill White, Johnny Cavalli and Jim Fontaine, a walk and a fielder's choice.
Bill Anake, Victoria's new catcher, checked in during the game but did not see action.
Bremerton ............ 004 100 402—11 15 3

Tacoma Rally Defeats Caps
VANCOUVER, May 23 — Tacoma Tigers broke loose with a six-run barrage in the ninth inning to defeat Vancouver Capilanos 7-5 tonight for the Caps' fourth straight Western International League loss.
Trailing 5-1 in the top of the ninth, six successive Tacoma batters punched out solid hits and each batter scored. Heaviest hit was a triple by Guy Miller. Catcher Neil Clifford drove in the winning run.
Until the fatal ninth, Caps had the game well in hand on homers by Frank Mullens, Len Mohr and Bob Stumpf. Pete Tedeschi clouted the Tigers' only four-bash smash on the first pitch of the game.
Saturday, 300 fans from Tacoma, headed by their mayor, will witness the double-header here when the teams wind up a four-game series.
