Hank Greenberg collected 4 RBI with one swing of the bat and Kevin Brown went
the distance as the Brentwood Bearcats ballclub embarrassed the Bat Cracking
Bombers by the count of 15 to 4.

Greenberg was a thorn in the side of the hometown fans as he enjoyed a fine
day at their team's expense.  He stroked a base-hit resulting in a run in the
3rd inning, laced a single bringing in a run in the 5th inning and quieted
the crowd by clouting a Grand Slam (his 8th of the season) in the 5th inning.
Brentwood bats were hot in the 5th inning with 9 runs on 7 hits.  The
Brentwood offense man-handled the Bat Cracking pitching staff as they scored
in 7 of the 9 innings. 

The victory went to Brown(2-1) who went the distance allowing 4 runs. The loss
was charged to Christy Mathewson(2-2).  He got hit pretty hard, allowing 10
hits and 4 walks in 4 and 1/3 innings.
