KENNEWICK, May 3 — The Victoria Tyees put four runs across in the sixth inning of the first game and coasted through on Tri-City errors in the second contest to win both ends of a Western International League baseball twin bill here Sunday.
The Tyees chalked up a 7-5 win in the opener and won the second 10-6.
Don Pries' base-cleaning triple as the big effort in Victoria's sixth of the first game. Lou Branham had RBIed the first run with a single. The Braves, trailing by three scores in the last of the ninth, staged a rally but it was cut short after one run had crossed the plate.
The second contest was a comedy of errors, three to be exact, one in each inning the Tyees scored. The visitors put two unearned runs across in the first in Tom Marier's overthrow to first.
