‘81 in his five-plus innings of work, he was no match for Camilo Pascual.
Pascual allowed just five hits over seven innings as he and Bud Byerly combined to shut out
‘81 5-0 and send them into the finals.
While Pascual kept his shutout going, Havens lost his in the sixth. Until that inning, he had allowed only four hits and walked three.
But Pete Runnels opened the sixth with a second-pitch single, Jim Lemon’s subsequent double putting men on second and third with nobody out. Havens worked Courtney to a 1-2 count before he singled in Runnels, and Lou Berberet singled home Lemon on the next pitch.
Smalley’s ninth-inning two-run home run turned a 9-8 defeat into a 10-9 victory as
‘81 pushed the Selig Sectional to a fifth game.
‘56, trailing 8-6 in the bottom of the eighth, had taken the lead on Lou Berberet’s three-run double, unwittingly setting up Smalley’s heroics.
Before the late-inning chaos, there was early- and middle-inning chaos as
‘81 saw a 6-1 lead turn into a 6-6 tie. Having taken the lead on a Dave Engle three-run homer and extended it through the third and fourth innings,
‘56 used big hits of their own to tie the score, Herb Plews driving in three on a double in the fourth and Jose Valdivielso’s two-run single tying the game an inning later.
