WEB GEMS- Top 3rd: Ozzie Smith robbed Babe Ruth of a base hit.

Joe Torre cracked 2 homeruns and had 7 RBI and Christy Mathewson tossed a
complete game as the Bat Cracking Bombers topped the Brentwood Bearcats by a
score of 13 to 6 at Tiger Stadium.

Torre was spectacular at the plate.  The hometown fans showed their
appreciation with a standing ovation his last time at bat.  He lined a
one-base hit which was good for two runs in the 3rd inning, smashed a two-run
homer in the 4th inning and lofted a three-run 'big-fly' (his 12th of the
season) in the 6th inning.  Bat Cracking rapped out 10 hits for the night.

The win was credited to Mathewson(10-5) who went the whole way allowing 6
runs. Herb Score(7-6) was the loser.  His biggest problem was control as he
allowed 6 walks in 2 and 1/3 innings. 

'Torre led the way - we just jumped on his back and let him take us,'
Mathewson said. 'I'm glad I don't have to face him. I'm glad he's on my
team.'
