VICTORIA, July 15—Dick Sinovic's grand-slam home run in the sveenth inning put Vancouver into a lead it never lost as the Capilanos defeated the Victoria Athletics, 7-6.
The A's rallied in the ninth with three successive blows and had the tying run in scoring position after plating a pair with only one hit. Gil McDougald was out at first by inches as first baseman Bob McLean managed to field his grounder and race to the bag.
The Caps opened the scoring in the second with a single run but the A's came back with an equalizer in the third, thanks to two consecutive low throws to first by shortstop Ray Tran.
Len Noren hit an inside-the-park homer in the fifth to score Vic Buccola and McDougald to make it a 4-1 game, but Sinovic's grand-slam wiped that away. The Caps scored two more in the ninth.
Victoria starter Jim Propst walked 11 while Capilano starter Bob Snyder struck out 11.
