June 14, 1960 & June 14, 1985

50 Years Ago:

GAME ONE:

FOX CITIES FOXES..2
BURLINGTON BEES...1
7 innings

Dean Chance with complete game victory in game one. He allowed three hits. Boog Powell broke the 1-1 tie by driving in the winning run.

GAME TWO:

FOXES.7
BEES..9
9 innings

The Foxes scored three in the first inning. But, Arne Thorsland allowed four in the bottom of the first without retiring a batter.

Pete Ward went 4-for-7 with two runs scored. He is hitting .378 on the season.

Again, game two did not go extra innings. When the Three-I League played a doubleheader, Game One was scheduled for seven innings and game two was scheduled for nine innings.

The Foxes fall to 21-17 and into third place in the Three-I League. They trail Cedar Rapids by two games.

25 Years Ago Today:
...............................R H..E
WATERLOO INDIANS 020 000 000 - 2.9..1
APPLETON FOXES...000 103 01x - 5 10 1

ATTENDANCE: 346

The headline in the June 15 Post-Crescent says it all TORRID FOXES JUST KEEP ON WINNING

The win was the eighth straight. After a May 13 loss at Quad Cities, the Foxes played 30 games. They went 24-6*.

Mike Taylor drove in the first two runs of the sixth inning to erase the 2-1 Waterloo lead.

Tony Menendez struck out seven over six innings. He went out to start the seventh inning, but a walk and a misplay put two on with no outs. Jeff Anderson relieved and tossed the final three innings without allowing a run.

Menendez ran his record to 8-1. The save was #4 for Anderson.

The Foxes are now 44-17. They continue to lead Madison by 10.5 games in the Northern Division of the Midwest League.
