Hippo Vaughn(6-4) and Nolan Ryan(8-4) treated the Brentwood fans to a fine
pitching duel at Tiger Stadium.  The Limerick Hurlers eventually emerged as
victors over the Brentwood Bearcats by the score of 2 to 1.

Limerick brought 1 run across the plate in the 6th inning.  After an out was
recorded, Barry Bonds drew a walk.  Bonds was safe at second on a stolen
base.  Mel Ott then drew a walk.  Mark McGwire was next to the plate, but was
promptly struck out.  Yogi Berra stepped into the box and lined a single
scoring the run.  Brentwood made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable
to push the needed runs across. 

Wilbur Cooper got the save, his 1st.  'I didn't have my best stuff but
sometimes you just get lucky,' Vaughn said, 'this was one of those times.'
