Abilene's Blue Sox, riding a wave
of new-found vitality, crushed
Beaumont's Exporters, 19-9, here
Thursday night behind an IS-hit
bat attack and the punch of four
home runs.
The Sox thus registered their
third consecutive victory with a
crowd of 1,197 in attendance.
Young leftahnder Chuck Kowal-
ski didn’t last through the sixth inn-
ing, but he still took credit for his
eighth victory for the Sox. Un-
til the sixth, when a siege of wild-
ness possessed him, Kowalski
chunked three-hit ball. Ralph Reiss
followed him after two runs had
been walked ia and completed the
game.

After going ahead, 12-2, the Sox
coasted in.
Manager Ford Garrison slammed
a three-run homer in the eighth for
Beaumont, and Bob Kosis hit a solo
homer in the ninth.
The last two Beaumont pitchers,
including Stephens (who is a third
baseman) were not regular hurlers
but were infielders. The Exporter

Home runs played a part in the
game, but the Sox were already
ahead 12-2 before Tom Venditelli
hit the first of four four-base licks
in the fifth. Rudy Mayling clouted
a two-run homer, his 21st, in the
fifth. Bill Johnson got a one-run
homer to the eighth, and Al Israel
hit a three-run blast in the same
frame
Beaumont’s troubles started in
the first inning. Starter DarreB

off, and Garrison pulled him out
before be could pitch to Venditelli,
the No. 2 hitter. SatcheU pulled a
muscle, preventing him from con-

Abilene pounded Dave Luts, the
relief man, for four hits and five
runs in the first, Lutz contributing
a pair of walks. Then Abilene got
to Lutz, Torn Baker and Bill Ste-
