Kikla Wins Second on 2-Hitter By SANDY PADWE Whether they knew it or not, Lion pitchers Ed Kikla and Tom Durbin may have solved a lot of Penn State's baseball problems Saturday. The two sophomore lefthand ers both went the distance to beat Ohio State in a doublehead er on Beaver Field. Kikla won his game on a two-hitter, 8-2 and Durbin won 6-1. Pitching was supposed to have been one of the sore spots on this year's team and after last year's star Ron Riese was shelled in his first outing the Lion coach es—Joe Bedenk and Chuck Med lar—really started to worry. "It's going to be a long sea son." moaned Bedenk after Riese was knocked out again against Bucknell• But even though one gams doesn't make a season, Kikla and Durbin looked good enough to r a iso some hopes. "'Both boys really pitched well," Med lar said. "If they keep that up and Riese and some of the oth ers come through we'll do all right." The win was the second of the year for Kikla while it was Dur bin's initial outing of 1959. But they didn't do it alone as they got some fi n e hitting support from their Lion teammates. Out to revenge Ohio State's Win the day before, the Lion hitters ripped into the Buck eye hurlers for 24 hits-12 in each game. The Lions wrapped up the first game in the third inning when they tallied four times.

Fegley, by the way, had four more RBl's to raise his total to 10. Fegley got his other two in the sixth when he singled with men on second and third. The Lions scored another in that inking and added a run in the seventh for a total of eight. Ohio State didn't get a hit off Kikla until the sixth when they scored their two runs. And those two hits were the only ones the Bucks got in the first game. In the second game the Lions again iced things in the third with three runs as nine men batted. Durbin, who went 3 for 3, started things off with a bin gle and moved to second on Dick Landis' single. Hader sacrificed and men were on second and third with Fegley up. But this time he struck out. Shortstop Bob Hoover followed with a walk to load the bases and Zeke DeLong singled to score Durbin. Then Doug Caldwell walked, forcing in a run and catcher John Adams reached first on an error for another run. That was all the scoring until the sixth when Ohio State got their only run and Penn State added their other three. Both Debora and Durbin led the Lions at bat in the second game, getting three hits apiece. DeLong also made the most important defensive play when he made a beautiful running catch of Bob German's fly ball with the bases loaded and two out in the Ohio State fifth.
