Game Recap: May 28th, 1958
Douglas 14, Tucson 13
By Konrad Kisch
DOUGLAS WALKS-OFF TUCSON IN A SLOPPY, 14-INNING INSTANT CLASSIC
In a marathon 14-inning thriller, Douglas edged Tucson 14–13 in a game filled with drama, momentum swings, and offensive firepower. Tucson stormed out of the gates with a six-run first inning, fueled by James O’Brian’s two-run single, free passes, and poor defensive play. They extended the lead to 7–0 in the second, but Douglas wasn’t waving the white flag quite yet.
Douglas chipped away at the seemingly insurmountable lead, scoring single runs in the 2nd and 3rd and putting up crooked numbers in the 5th and 6th, highlighted by Ralph Torres’ two-run homer and a solo shot from Charles Watkins to cut the deficit to 8–7. Tucson answered in the 7th with three runs, including a two-RBI single from August Niklas, only to see Douglas respond again with a three-run frame of their own, including a run-scoring single from Andrew Prevedello.
After a brief rain delay and some clutch hitting by Ralph Torres to tie the game in the 9th, the teams headed into extras. Tucson briefly reclaimed the lead in the 10th with a sacrifice fly by Gary Rushing and an RBI double from Rich Morgan. But Douglas tied it in the bottom half with RBIs from Prevedello and Robert Clifford. Finally, in the 14th, with the bases loaded, Dutch VanBurkleo drew a walk-off walk to give Douglas the 14–13 victory.
Douglas collected 20 hits, including five from catcher Richard Binford. Throwing 7.1 innings of relief, allowing 0 earned runs, Robert Clifford earned the win for Douglas, improving to (1–0). Clifford also went 2-for-3 with 2 doubles and a walk, earning him player of the game. Tucson’s Ray Sorenson took the loss, falling to (0–4). This high-scoring instant classic featured 27 runs, 34 hits, 23 walks, and even a rain delay, in a game that tested endurance from both the fans and players.
Douglas (21-5) improved on their commanding lead on top of the standings, while Tucson (10-16) had a setback in their attempt to claw back from the bottom of the standings.
