TACOMA, July 3—The Victoria Athletics scored four times in the 15th inning to defeat the Tacoma Tigers, 8-4, in the first game of a double-header.
The A's swept with an 8-2 win in the night game, thanks to Tobey Tobias' four-hitter.
The first game was tied at 4-4 when Victoria scored two in the eighth after Tacoma went ahead with three runs in the seventh. Then came the 15th when starter Bob Kerrigan was kept in to complete the game and surrender all the runs. Only six of them were earned.
Jones, pinch-hitting for Kerrigan, homered in the 15th but it was all the A's could muster off Pete Vucurevich, who scattered six hits and walked three in six innings of relief for the win. He also tripled and scored in the big inning.
Ray Jacobs hit a solo homer for the A's, while Vic Buccola was four for seven and sent in two runs.
In the night game, Tobias allowed singles to Glen Stetter and Dick Greco, and singles to Bill Sheets and Johnson, the only hit to bring in a run, over the course of the seven-inning contest. He also walked one and bit Greco on base by hitting him.
Russ Walseth had three hits and three RBIs for Victoria, while Gil McDougald homered a tripled to helped a pair reach home.

ON THE INSIDE
BY DON BECKER SPORTS EDITOR
Babe Hollingberry, president of the Wenatchee Chiefs of the Western International baseball league, was in Kennewick Friday. He was seen conferring with city officials and civic leaders. The rumors are still flying, and no one seems to be denying them. Yet no one seems to want to go on record as to what the whole conversation was all about. "No comment" was the general observation of those in the group. What gives, Babe?
