Missions Out To Square Indian Series

The San Antonio Missions seek a second win in Oklahoma City after a dispute with umpire Bill Capps led to manager Jimmy Adair and pitcher Chili Wagener being ejected. Harry Hatch tied the game with a first homer, while Wagener lasted four innings before trouble in the fifth led to further controversy. Ralph Murray scored on a balk called on Wagener, triggering Adair’s removal as San Antonio faced the Indians in the seventh. The late eighth saw Ken Sears pitch as Hatch delivered another run in a left-field homer sequence.
