1959 Game Reports, Basin League 

 


(July )   Lefty Larry Crayton fired a no-hitter ... following a two-hit shutout in his previous game.

July 9, 1959 -- Bob Tedesco tossed a five-hitter and fanned 13 as Huron shaded Valentine 4-3.  It was Tedesco's 6th win against just one loss, the best record in the league.  His 62 strikeouts are also tops in the circuit.  Bob Fidler drove in a pair of runs for the winners with a second inning double. Pete Maynard's 3rd inning triple was the only other extra base hit.

XXX -- Harry Wise tossed a four-hit shutout as Yankton downed Valentine 4-0 in Basin League playoff action.  It was the Yankton manager's third straight whitewash. Harvey Casey matched goose eggs with Wise until the bottom of the 8th  Bob Clem drew the first base on balls given up by Casey and moved to second when Jim Nelson, attempting a sacrifice, ended up with a hit past the incoming third sacker. Wise moved both runners along with a sacrifice and Casey intentionally walked Gene Orf to fill the bases. Right fielder Harbert Lee drove in a pair with a single.  An error and two walks led to two more markers.
