The Harvey Wallbangers nipped the Grand River Ghostmen 6 to 5 at Yankee
Stadium in a hard fought contest.

Harvey tallied 5 runs in the top of the 4th inning when they had 5 base hits.
The big moment was provided by Heinie Manush who helped quiet the crowd when
he stroked a base-hit scoring two baserunners.  Grand River made it exciting
in the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs across. 

Hooks Wiltse(5-3) allowed 5 runs in 7 innings, and picked up the victory.
Wiltse got relief help from Dick Radatz who gained credit for his 8th save.
The loss was charged to Rube Waddell(5-3).  Harvey scored big getting 5 runs
off him in 3 and 2/3 innings. 

'Anytime you lose it hurts,' said Buck Guthrie 'but it's losing the close ones
that really hurt.'
