WENATCHEE, July 19—Lefthander Jim Propst was tagged for 13 hits and seven walks, but kept out of serious trouble by striking out 15, as the Victoria Athletics went on to a 14-7 over the Wenatchee Chiefs.
Propst now has 108 strikeouts in 96 innings and raised his record to 9 and 3 since joining the club May 31.
Victora batters rapped Cy Greenlaw and Merle Frick for 15 hits, including home runs by Gil McDougald, Len Noren and Russ Walseth, who batted in three runs each. Charlie Balassi raised his club-leading plate mark with two doubles and a single in six trips, while all other batters, except Frank Matoh, joined in the attack. McDougald, Noren and Walseth had singles in addition to their homers, and Propst and Bob Day both garnered two hits.
The A's were never headed, taking a two-run lead in the first frrame and turning the game into a rout with a seven-run splurge. The spurt came on eight consecutive hits and two Wenatchee errors.
Jim Warner hit one out for the home club.
