VICTORIA, June 23—An error cost Jim Propst his third shut-out of the season, but he came away with a win in a 5-1 Victoria triumph over the Spokane Indians.
Propost gave up eight hits and walked seven, but was helped by three double-plays. Vic Buccola misplayed a ball to allow Joe Rossi to go across in the sixth for the Indians' unearned run in the sixth.
Propst also accounted for Victoria's first run. He singled in the fifth inning, then Al Drew, Charlie Balassi and Buccola followed with singles to score a pair.
Frank Finnegan walked in the sixth, stole second and secored when Russ Walseth singled to right.
Al Drew was hit by a pitch in the seventh, and came in when Gil McDougald's high loft to right was lost in the lights for a double. In the eighth, Walseth doubled and was called safe after Propst doubled for the second time.
The oddity of the game was Bob Day and Frank Finnegan batting out of turn three times before getting it right in their last plate appearance in the eighth.
A's note —Infielder Bob Keeler has left the club.
