Athletics Win Final Game In Rotary Midget League
The Athletics defeated the Pomona Lions 14-10 in five innings at Forest Park. Pitcher Shofner allowed 11 hits and four walks with four strikeouts as the winners scored four runs in the first and eight in the second. Pomona totaled three in the first and multiple tallies through the second, fourth and fifth but never challenged. Crawford gave up 14 runs on 11 hits and six walks. Coach Jim Lee Howell faces the decision on Frank Gifford’s role, with Shaw and Giffford's future uncertain after Shaw was acquired from Baltimore for Giants' No. 1 pick in 1960 and another top choice.
