VICTORIA, B.C., June 20—Ben Lorino lost out in his attempt to tie one Western International League record and stay in the running in an effort to break another here Friday night but the hard-throwing Victoria southpaw eased to his 11th victory in 14 decisions.
He held the Salem Senators to five hits to record a 4-1 triumph for the Tyees and give them a 2-0 lead in the four-game series. It was the fourth win in a row and the 12th in 14 games for the league leaders.
Lorino entered the game with two straight shutouts to his credit and a record of 17 2-3 consecutive scoreless innings. He made it 25 before a double by Dick Bartle and Bob Nelson's single scored Salem's only run in the eighth.
The league records are three consecutive shutouts and 33 2-3 scoreless innings.
The Tyees scored all the runs they were to need in the third inning. Luther Branham singled, raced to third on a single by Bob Moniz and scored after the catch on Cece Garriott's outfield fly.

YAKIMA, June 20 — Jake Helmuth's third double of the game gave the Lewiston Bronc a 13-inning, 8-7 victory Friday night over the Yakima Bears in the opener of a four-game Western International League series.
Shut out on two hits until the sixth inning, Yakima went ahead, 4-3, on Jerry Zuvela's grand slam homer. The Bears added two more in the eighth and were ahead, 6-4, heading into the ninth.
The Broncs shoved across three runs in the top half of the last regulation frame on singles by Glen Tuckett and Helmuth, a catcher's interference, fielder's choice,
walk and rundown between first and second.
Yakima tied it up with a solo run in the bottom of the ninth and the two teams went scoreless until Lewiston broke the deadlock in the 13th.
Bronc Manager Bill Brenner, who took over the hurling chores in the sixth, was the winner. Jack Thompson, sent in as a Yakima relief pitcher in the 10th, was charged with the loss.
