Pa9e 3, Sec. 1
Ector Wins In 10th;
Jackets Try Loboes
A three-run homer in the
top of the tenth inning by Willie
Taj^r shoved the Ector Eagles
pas^he Kermit Yellow Jackets
Tuesday, 7-4. The wingWesthe
Eagles a 2-0 district record
while Kermit plunged to 0-2.
Jerry Edwards, who relieved
Luis Hernandez in the fifth in-
ning, served up the home run
ball to Taylor with Arturo Spen-
cer and Richard Ramirez on
base. Spencer had walked and
Ramirez was on by virtue of
a single.
Kermit had pulled into a 4-4
tie in the seventh to send the
game into extra innings.
Ramirez, who went into the
game with an 8-0 record for the
year, went all the way to pick
up No. 9. Edwards was tagged
with the loss, his fourth against
five wins.
I
Hernandez, sophomore left-
hander, was the victim of an
inept infield which committed
seven errors and gave the
Eagles their first three runs.
In the meantime, Ramirez
was getting battered by the
Jackets’ power which featured
back-to-back home runs by D. V.
Edwards and Eddie Hazel in the
second inning. Ramirez gave
up 11 bases on balls but was
tight in the clutches.
The Eagles got an unearned
run in the first when Adolfo
Nabarrette was safe on an er-
ror and raced home on another
miscue.
D. V. Edwards put the Jack-
ets ahead with his home run
in the second, scoring Hernan-
dez who was on base on an
error.
Eddie Hazel followed with his
four-base hit to give Kermit a
3-1 lead.
Ector tied it up in the third
when Adolfo Dominguez got on
safely on another Jacket error.
Nabarrette then walked and both
scored on another error.
The Eagles picked up one run
in the fifth on a single by Domin-
guez, a sacrifice by Furman
Davis and another single by
Spencer. Edwards relieved
Hernandez and struck out
Ramirez to retire the side.
Kermit propelled the game
into extra innings, scoring once
in the bottom of the seventh.
With one away, Mike Giesler
walked and Hernandez doubled
After pinch-hitter Joe Ben Mai-
kell was purposely walked to
load the bases, Ramirez gave
up another base on balls to Joe
Scott to force in the tying run.
Edwards pitched fine ball un-
til the fateful tenth when the
roof fell in.
Kermit will attempt to stay
in the district race when they
go to Monahans Friday for a
7:15 p.m. game with the Loboes.
A loss to Monahans would
give the Jackets an uphill battle
to stay in contention in the
District 2-AAA race.
