VICTORIA, July 28—Sidearming righthander Frank Logue gave up seven hits in the first two innings and then none the rest of the way as the Victoria Athletics blanked the Yakima Bears, 5-0, in the first game of a double-header.
The A's handed Bill Sweiger his first defeat, scoring once in the first inning on a double, two walks and a fielder's choice. The team came up with a four-run cushion in the second inning, two of the runs coming on third baseman Ted Jennings' boot of Charlie Balassi's ground ball.
Dick Morgan had three straight singles for the A's.
Yakima took the night game, 9-3, as the Bears had runners on base in every inning, using 14 hits and five walks. They scored once in the second, then three in the third on a Bob Williams homer. Dick Briskey had a pair of doubles and singles, while batting in three runs.
Buzz Sporer went the distance for Yakima, though he walked nine as he pitched a five-hitter. He walked the first man in five innings and an error put the opening batter on in another.
Frank Prowse fell to 5 and 12 with the loss, as he left for a pinch-hitter in the fifth.
