Third baseman Bob Johnson smashed 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI as the Grand River
Ghostmen outscored the Athens Bobkittens 8 to 7.

Johnson made sure the Grand River fans enjoyed themselves.  He lofted a
solo-blast 'downtown' in the 1st inning and belted a three-run homer (his 4th
of the season) in the 2nd inning.  John Wetteland pitched a perfect ninth and
was credited with his 2nd save. 

The winning pitcher was Reb Russell(1-1) who allowed 3 runs in 1 and 2/3
innings. Harry Coveleski(0-1) absorbed the loss in relief.  He pitched 1/3 of
an inning allowing 1 hit and 1 walk.
