At Tiger Stadium the Brentwood Bearcats easily handled the Limerick Hurlers by
the score of 7 to 3.

Brentwood tallied 2 runs in the 5th inning.  The big moment was provided by
Sammy Sosa who brought a roar from the partisan Tiger Stadium fans when he
blasted a two-run home run (his 5th of the season).  Brentwood simply wore
out the Limerick pitching staff, scoring in 6 different innings. 

The win was credited to Kevin Brown(8-1) who went 6 innings allowing 3 runs.
Billy Pierce(0-2) was the loser.  His ERA increased from 2.87 to 3.74 as he
allowed 5 runs in 6 innings.
