A double steal and a three-hit
hurling job by lefty Ebbie Vena-
ble gave the Cooper Cougars
sweet revenge and a 3-1 victory
over the Snyder Tigers at Cougar
Field Tuesday afternoon.
Despite 42-degree temperatures,
Venable and loser Freddy Miller
of Snyder waged a hurling duel
that saw all three of the game’s
runs scored in the fourth inning.
Miller gave up only two hits but
allowed the Cougars to bunch
them with two walks, a sacrifice
and three stolen bases.
Cooper is now 5-2 for the season,
while the Tigers are 2-4.
Right fielder Danny Chapman
made several nice running catch-
es to preserve the Cougar victory
and' third baseman Randy Cum-
by wiped out the last Tiger hope
with a' neatly executed double
play.
First baseman Bob (Possum)
Ramsay and catcher Bob Gribble
collected the two Cougar hits, both
singles, while catcher Bob Smith
rapped a double and shortstop
Steve Free and reserve right
fielder Eddie Kirby added singles
for Snyder.
Venable survived four errors by
his teammates, two by second
baseman Kenneth Wright.
Free singled with one away in
third in the fifth inning after
Franks and Free walked, but
Chapman made a beautiful run-
ning catch of Miller’s fly.
In the sixth, Kowtislar was safe
on an error with two away, but
again Chapman came to the res-
cue. on Jim Marcum’s fly to right.
Kirby led off the Snyder sev-
enth with a single to right and
stole second. Franks flied out to
Ogden in left for the first out.
Cumby then fielded Free’s
grounder between short and third,
tagged Kirby and threw out Free
at first.
Cooper hosts Fort Worth Pas-
chal in a three-game series Fri-
day and Saturday.
