Chase notched his fourth win of the year in the twilight end of the doubleheader, but he needed help from Bob Roberts in the sixth inning.

YAKIMA, May 11 — The Yakima Bears wound up their Western International League series with Vancouver Sunday by taking both games of a doubleheader by identical scores of 5-4.
It gave the Bears at 2-1 edge in the series which was shortened one game by a Friday rainout.
Manager Dario Lodigiani scored the winning run for Yakima in the sixth inning of the opener with a sizzling homer over the left field fence.
Kenny Wright, late of the San Francisco seals of the Pacific Coast made his first appearance for the Bears in pitching the win. Wright, a Zillah boy, pitched for Whitman College last year.
Harry Butts, who seems to be running out of gas in each of his starts, was the victim in the first game for Vancouver. He suffered mostly from a two-run fourth inning and singles in the fifth and sixth.
Butts, now a 0-2 loser for the year, was taken out in the seventh when Bill Schuster used a pinch-hitter in order to warm things up. He did, too, encouraging his club to a single run in the eighth and another in the ninth.
However, the threat tied with the tying run on base when Wright got Edo Vanni to pop up.
The scheduled seven-inning nightcap went into an extra inning after Yakima tallied two runs in the sixth.
Two men were out, two were on and the count was three and two when Jerry Zuvela whacked a triple to bring the tying runs home.
