By MACK BOSWELL Tulsa's all-stars were heavy favorites to sack up the Oklahoma Babe Ruth championship last night in the sec ond of two games against Miami. Tulsa played errorless ball in running away with a 16-0 victory at Tulsa Friday night. The game was to have been played in Miami but was shifted because of the water-soaked condition of the local field. Regardless of the outcome of last night’s game in Tulsa (which had not been completed by press time), the two teams will play in Miami Monday night, weather and ground conditions permit ting. Even if the Monday night game isn’t a tie-breaker in the state series, it should be an interesting attraction for local fans. They will get to see the club that will rep resent Oklahoma in the five-state regional tournament at Tulsa on Aug. 5-6. The Miamian’s performance Friday night at Tulsa’s Babe Ruth park was an unpleasant contrast to their fine play in battles that ended the regular season here earlier in the week. The locals frequently had trouble handling even the easiest plays Friday. They committed 13 errors afield and equally costly miscues in judgment that don’t go into the records. Larry Ketcher’s hurling for the losers was much better than the score indicated. He allowed 10 hits, eight of which were singles, struck out eight and never issued a walk. He also connected for one of Miami’s five hits, all sin gles. The other safeties were by Jerry Bennett, David Foster, Tom Winton and Dale Seamon. Pitcher Jim Terry of Tulsa fanned 13 and walked two. Bennett, little second baseman, was first up and lifted a hit just beyond short and second base. Even with that good start, only nine Miamians came to bat in the first inning because Bennett was doubled off first base after David Foster's fly ball was taken by Jim Hart in center field. Miami's jittery fielding began at the outset. Gravitt, first up for falsa, hit a weak popup between name and third with the pitcher, third baseman and catcher start ing for the ball. It was dropped by the catcher, who was in the most difficult position to handle the ball. The next batter, Jim Hart, punted and could have been thrown out at first but the pitcher's long ‘grow to second for an attempted force play was too late. Nearest scoring threat for Miami came in the last (seventh) inning. Ketcher opened with a single. Larry Chariton fanned. Dale Sea mon singled, sending Ketcher to third. But Terry fanned the next two, Richard Davis and pinch-hit ter Lee Ward MIAMI eb rh TULSA abr Bennett éb 4 0 \Gravitt 5 Winton, 20 1 0 | Binkley 20 |Tanner, sf 2 0 O'Hart, ct | Oi Jackson f ‘Linton, 3s 2 0 Foster, Vb 2 1 | Jones If Ketcher , 2 1) Ray d |Charlton, ef 2 O'Fine, 3b Seamon If 3 1i Calmus, ef rf ¢ Tay! rf QO!
