SOLONS COST, PADRES GAME INP.C.L. RACE (By Associated Press) Somebody must have fed the Bac- ramento Solons some raw meat. The Pacific Coast loop tail-enders spotted ‘San Diego a 5-1 lead last night, roared back with four runs in the eighth and ninth to tie it up, and then won out in the 10th, 6-5. The defeat cost the Padres aj game in their battle to overhaul league leading Oakland. The Oaks pulled a Merriwell of their own to beat Los Angeles, 8-7, and regain a 5% game margin over San Diego. It was come-from-behind all over the circuit. Hollywood let San Fran- cisco get away to a five-run lead, yet won, 6-5, on Johnny O'Neail’s perfect squeeze bunt in the ninth. Another night of rain in Port- land washed out Seattle and the Beavers. Doubleheaders are now carded there for Thursday and Sat- urday, as well as the usual on Sun- day. : Sacramento - Manager was thrown out for protesting an umpire’s decision in the midst of a ¥ three-run ninth-inning rally that tied the soore. Pinchhitter .Herm Reich’s two-run single was the main blow. * 5 The Padres went ahead in the 10th on Orestes Minoso’s double.and Merrill Combs’ single. But the Sol- ons bounced right back to win as Steve Souchock, who earlier poled his 24th homer, walked and Richie Myers and Jim Busby followed with doubles. Oakland won on Erl Rapp’s homer, with two on in the ninth. Dino Restelli was the big gun for San Francisco—driving home all five $eal.runs with a single and homef, which looked good until Hollywood started whittling on Manny Perez and Harry Feldman.
