The 1962 softball program got

Sembera Sharp As
Colt 22s Down
Brunswick 13-4
By Jimmy Johnson
Observer Sports Editor
Moultrie, Ga., May 14—Car-
roll Sembera played himself a
honey of a ball game yesterday.
And if you don’t believe it ask
any one of the 330 folks who
watched this young righthand-
er from Shiner, Texas, hurl the
Moultrie Colt 22s to a 13-4 de-
cision over the Brunswick Car-
dinals here in Holmes Park.
Sembera gave a beautiful
performance on the mound, but
his talents didn’t end there. He
gave the fans something to stand
up and take notice of by wield-
ing a mighty big stick.
After giving up a run in the
first and third frames the Tex-
as pitcher settled down to twirl
five innings of shutout ball. He
allowed seven hits—three of
them coming in the third—
white passing seven on balls and
fanning 10.
Sembera’s curve was working
well and he kept the Brunswick
crew swinging mostly at air. It
looked as if the visitors might
have a rally underway in the
third, but then Sembera began
to bear down, striking out two
batters and getting one to
ground out third to first.
The Cards got something go-
ing in the 9th off the tiring
Sembera. However, with two
runs scored, one man out and
the bases loaded, Al Goldfield
came in and got Jack Newcomer
to hit into a double play on the
first pitch to end the contest.
When Sembera left the game
he received a standing ovation
from the fans.
Not only did the young Tex-
an pitch a fine contest, he ted
an attack against the three
Brunswick pitchers, collecting
three base hits for five trips.
He got on base every time he
came to bat, scored twice and
drove in two runs.
Sembera got excellent support
from his fellow teammates. The
Colt 22s took the lead in the
third period and never eased up
as they tallied twice in the
fourth, three times in each of
the fifth and seventh innings
and wrapped it up in the eighth
with a couple of markers.

SEMBERA TWIRLS 3-HITTER
Dublin, Ga., May 24—The
three-hit pitching of Carroll
Sembera and Les Paris’ two-
run homer in the seventh were
the deciding factors in the
Moultrie Colt 22s’ 3-1 decision
over the Dublin Braves here
last night.
Sembera, a 20-year-old right-
hander, had the Braves eating
out of his hands as he dished out
only three base hits to win his
fifth game of the young Geor-
gia-Florida League season.
The Shiner, Texas, hurler dis-
The Houston Colt .45s an-
nounced today that the tryout

ginally scheduled for June 6, 7,

out camps will be held in Alice,

Youngsters attending the
The following article by
Charley Eskew appeared in the
May 31, Austin American.
A trio of El Paso batters with
unspellable names had the
Austin Senators blurting un-
printable things Wednesday
night, ripping away as the Sun
Kings compiled an 8-3 triumph.
If you’ll pardon all following
typographical errors, this three-
some was Felix Maldonado, Fe-
lipe Alou and Victor Roznov-
sky and they created just about
as much havoc as hitting, as they
played excellent control on the
hill as he sent a dozen batters
back to the dugout with the bat
in their hands. Sembera allow-
ed only three free tickets as he
went the entire nine innings.
Sembera got the right amount
of hitting from his teammates.
Paris’ two run shot in the sev-
enth was the big blow.
The Colt 22s jumped to an
early lead in the third inning.
Rudy Casanova singled to left.
Al Peterkin struck out. Bob
Ackerman walked and Elijah
Johnson flied out to right field.
Paris was issued a free ticket
before Butch Troy drew a base
on balls to walk in Casanova.
About 250 fans watched the
Houston farm hands as they
took an even greater lead in the
seventh. Ackerman ted off the
inning with a walk. Johnson
fanned. Then Paris, who was
signed to the club last week,
stepped to the platter, dug in
and planted one over the right
field fence.
Dublin hitters tagged Sem-
bera for a pair of doubles and
a run in the seventh before he
slammed the door in their face.
The seventh proved to be
damaging in more ways than
one. Chuck Dembinsky had a
hard luck fall trying to field
the ball. In the fall he caught
the thumb on his left hand,
breaking it.
The Colt 22s will wrap up the
three-game series with the
Braves tonight before returning
home Friday night for a three-
tilt stand with the Thomasville
Tigers.
Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Hajek
and Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Cloutier
were called to Schulenburg Sat-
urday in response to a message
announcing the death of Mrs.
Hajek’s sister-in-law, Mrs. An-
ton Pustejovsky.
Mr. and Mrs. Ewald Stock of
Perry, Iowa are visiting his mo-
ther and sister, Mrs. Otto Stock
and Irene, in Houston and rel-
atives in Shiner. Before return-
ing home they plan to sightsee
in San Marcos and other points
of interest.

would in a spelling bee.
Roznovsky, the alternate
catcher of the Sun Kings,
plagued the Senators’ starter-
loser Dennis Ribant and reliefer
Dick Lamery the most, smash-
ing four hits in as many trips.
He also slapped a sacrifice fly
to set off a night of three RBIs.
Maldonado and Alou were
hardly a step behind as they
contributed heavily to the
Kings’ 13-hit attack. The for-
mer, El Paso’s leadoff hitter,
smashed three singles and
scored three times, white Alou
collected a triple and single,
getting home with two scores.
The three of them gave Mon-
ty Tarrh all the assistance he
needed as he spun an effective
eight-hitter, striking out five
Senators with only a single
walk. Tarrh, a starter and a re-
liever in manager George
Genovese’s plans, was bothered
only twice in going the distance
for his fourth win in five deci-
sions.
The game, El Paso’s seventh
victory in eight days, saw both
Bill Lucas of Austin and Alou
carry their torrid batting
streaks forward again, both
with triples.
Lucas bounced a triple over
the centerfielder’s head when
he ted off Austin’s first inning.
He scored on the same play as
the second baseman Julio Lin-
ares threw errantly on the re-
lay.
The next time Austin hit a
high spot was in the eighth after
Paul Snyder drilled a two-out
single into center field. Ray
Withrow, up next, promptly
whacked his eighth home run
of the season far over left field.
It probably came to rest on
South Congress.
On Alou’s second turn at bat,
he also tripled to run his hit-
ting string to 22 games, one be-
hind Lucas.
Roznovsky, who had driven
home Maldonado in the first,
singled to score Alou with the
run breaking a 1-all tie and
also raced in himself seconds
later with a stolen base.
It went to 5-1 in El Paso’s
fifth and Ribant’s final round.
A grounder by Alou and Roz-
novsky’s one-bagger brought in
the runners.
During Lamery’s four innings
for Austin, the Sun Kings man-
aged single runs three times,
but two were unearned.
NOTE: The above clip was
sent to the Gazette by Gene
Kutach of Austin. Mr. and Mrs.
A. J. Kutach and Mrs. Bob
Hurla attended the above game
and saw Vic play. Gene and his
wife attended the game Thurs-
day night, (May 31). Victor
Roznovsky did not play in that
game but was brought in to
pinch-hit in the 9th and came
up with a single.
