VICTORIA, July 14—Bob Day's second home run of the night brought in Johnny Hack ahead of him in the 12th inning as the Victoria Athletics overtook the Vancouver Capilanos, 12-10, before 5,000 fans taking in Vic Buccola Night.
The A's treated Hunk Anderson roughly from the first inning as Charlie Balassi led off with a triple and Frank Matoh singled him in. Matoh's home in the third gave the A's a 2-0 lead.
Anderson was sent to the showers in a six-run fourth. Day homered, Pete Vucurevich singled, Balassi drew a walk, Buccola beat out a bunt, McDougald received a free trip, Len Noran reached base on Ray Tran's error at short and John Hack doubled.
The Caps started teeing off on Vucurevich in the sixth when K Chorlton lined one out of the park after Doug Sinovic walked. The A's repeated the feat in their half of the inning when Gil McDougald drove one over the fence after a walk to Matoh.
A double by Len Tran proved the beginning of the end for Vucurevich. Charlie Mead homered and Sinovic doubled. Bud Sheely singled, and was forced at second by Chorlton. Bob McLean singled and in came Joe Blankenship. He gave up a walk to pinch-hitter Bob Brenner, who was out at second on a fielder's choice by Jim Robinson. Ray Tran then singled to drive in McLean.
Carl Gunnarson held the A's scoreless in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings. Meanwhile, Mead reached base in the eighth, Sinovic hit a fly that was dropped by Gil McDougald and everyone was safe. Sheely singled to score Mead, and Chorlton's single scored Sinovic. The Caps tied for more, but Chorlton was thrown out at third on McLean's bunt, prompting an argument that resulted in an early night for manager Bill Brenner and third base coach Bob Costello.
Len Tran finally tied the game with a homer in the ninth, sending it to extra innings.
John Hack opened the 10th win a single before Day smacked one out.
A's note — Before the game, Buccola received numerous gifts, including a watch from the team management and a sweater from patients of the Veterans Hospital. Charlie Balassi gave his seemingly-annual singing performance while strumming a guitar.

Ted Norbert Fired
Norbert Ousted as Manager; Yankees Send Replacement
Earl Bolyard Selected; Buccola Interim Pilot
Victoria Athletics were rained out at Tacoma last night but the city's W.I.L. entry provided the top baseball news of the day with the announcement of a managerial change. Out goes Ted Norbert after two full seasons and parts of two others as manager and in comes Earl Bolyard, longtime outfielder in the New York Yankees system who had been managing the Norfolk club in the Piedmont League this year.
Announcement of the change was made by Business Manager Reg Patterson from Tacoma early this morning. Patterson left hurriedly for Tacoma yesterday after receiving word from Yankees officials that Bolyard was being sent to take over the team. This puts an end to rumors about a managerial shift, momentarily stilled two weeks ago when J.V. Johnson, club presdent, announced that Norbert would finish the season.
STARTED IN 1946
Norbert took over the A's from Laurel Harney early in the 1946 season, when the club finished last. He wound up fifth in 1947 after a great pennant race, and last year his club ended up in third spot. The current standing of the A's is well known to fans and whether or not is has been all Norbert's fault will provide food for many an argument.
Not much is known about Bolyard except that he is considered a fine handler of young players and is well thought of by Yankee farm officials. He played in the high minors for many years and may be remembered as a one-time Oakland outfielder. He is expected to join the club in Victoria this week-end. In the meantime, the A's will be handled on the field by Vic Buccola, starting tonight when they tangle with the Tacomans in a double-header.
