Bat Cracking won the game with a rally in the top of the 9th inning with 3 runs utilizing 3 base hits. Duke Snider led off and keyed the rally when he delivered a single. Bobby Bonds came next and he banged out a single. After an out was recorded, Jackie Robinson stepped in and he laced a single which scored a run. Ruben Sierra was up next and he reached on an error scoring one more run. Frankie Frisch came to the plate and worked the squeeze play to perfection scoring the final run of the inning. Despite losing, Limerick out-hit Bat Cracking 14 to 10. Mario Soto(8-1) allowed no runs in 2/3 of an inning, and picked up the victory. Bruce Sutter got the save, his 21st. Jesse Tannehill(1-3) was charged with the loss in relief. After the game, it took a long while before Jimmy Dugan emerged from his office. In a subdued tone he answered only a couple of questions. He concluded with, 'Fellows, sorry I'm not in a very talkative mood tonight, as I think you'll understand. I'm sure you'll find the banter a lot more light-hearted over in the Bat Cracking locker room.' |
