WENATCHEE [Vancouver News-Herald, July 21]—Capilanos turned on the heat Sunday night in the first game of a scheduled double-header against Wenatchee and when the first inning was tolled the Vancouver crew had set a season’s record for high score.
It was a total of 22 runs and good enough for a pathetically-easy 22-2 victory. Three Wenatchee pitchers faced the Vancouver boys and they came within two hits of tying their own record for the most bases in a single game.
They got 29 and the record is 31, established last season.
Winning pitcher for Vancouver was Bob Snyder. And after the fourth inning he had nothing to worry about. That was when the Caps rolled across seven runs to add to the two they had already scored. They got another 12 in the final two innings.
Meanwhile, Bob Brown returned in advance of the club Saturday and was loud in his praise for acting-manager Edo Vanni when Vancouver beat Wenatchee 8-6 in the 10th inning Saturday night.
“Edo has always been accepted in this game as a quick thinker,” Bob said. “It was not just a question of whether or not he could transform that clear thinking into the split-second decisions required of a manager. Well, he seems to have passed the test.”
Saturday, the Caps were in danger of blowing a ball game in the ninth inning when Vanni trotted in from right field and put on his think-tank.
Ed Locke was the pitcher and Lauri Munroe, left-handed hitter, was due to hit for Wenatchee. There were men on first and second and one out. After a short talk, Vanni called lefty Bill Whyte in from the bull-pen and Bill did the job of getting Munro out on four pitches. Then Vanni got Whyte out of there and inserted right-handed Paul Jones to pitch to right-handed hitting Dick Adams.
Vanni and the “new” Capilanos return to Cap Stadium Monday night for a three-gamer against Spokane.
