Johnny Bench jacked one out of the ballyard and had 4 RBI as the Brentwood
Bearcats beat the Bat Cracking Bombers by a score of 11 to 6.

The Bat Cracking fans didn't appreciate the big day Bench had.  He lined a
base-hit resulting in a run in the 7th inning and rifled a three-run blast
(his 14th of the season) in the 9th inning.  Brentwood banged out 11 on the
night. 

Tommy John(1-0) went 3 and 2/3 innings allowing 1 run for the win. John got
help from Goose Gossage who earned his 15th save.  Jim Bunning(3-1) ended up
with the loss in relief. 

With this win, Brentwood has a division leading 57-37 record.  They have been
6-4 lately.  With the loss, Bat Cracking has a record of 6-4 lately, 56-44
overall.
