VANCOUVER, Apr. 26—Yakima reliever—and club president—Dewey Soriano, came on to shut down a Vancouver rally and preserve an 8-6 win for the Bears tonight.
Yakima wasted no time in teeing off on Caps pitcher Vern Kindsfather as they tagged him four hits and two runs in the first frame, then added three more hits and an unearned run before Bob Snyder replaced him with two out in the third.
Vancouver kept up for awhile, scoring twice in the second and once in the third, then going ahead in the fourth before the Bears came back with a big sixth inning. Ted Jennings lofted a high fly ball over the short right field fence with two aboard after Lloyd Dickie had walked and Ed Vanni and Al Jacinto smacked singles for the first run of the inning.
Vancouver managed two more in the sixth on Buddy Hjelmaa's double that brought in Ray Tran and Charlie Mead, then put two on base with two out in the seventh when Dickey was replaced by Soriano. Len Tran was sent to first after Ray Orteig was called for catcher's interference. That brought up Mead, who swung and missed at three pitches, then Soriano retired the batters in order in the final two innings.
The Caps managed only four hits. Hjelmaa had a single besides his double, and the other two hits were shared by the Tran brothers.
Yakima .......... 201 004 001—8 12 5
