YAKIMA, Aug, 26—The Yakima Bears moved into a one-percentage point lead in the torrid Western International League pennant race by edging Victoria Athletics, 5-4, Saturday night. Tacoma fell into a runner-up spot by losing to Vancouver.
Yakima’s victory was its eighth in a row and the setback was the fourth straight for the A’s on the road. Yakima President Dewey Soriano came to the rescue of Bob Bradford in the ninth and fanned Lou Novikoff with the tying and winning runs on third and second to preserve the triumph.
Before walking the first two men in the ninth, Bradford had contributed three hits himself, batted in the first two Bears runs and kept the A’s away from the plate except in the fifth. In that inning, a hit batter, two singles, and Novikoff’s double accounted for three runs.
