WEB GEMS- Bot 6th: Limerick turns a triple play!

The Limerick Hurlers nipped the Athens Bobkittens in 11 innings 6 to 5 at
Tiger Stadium in a hard fought contest.

The score was tied at 5 after nine. Limerick came out the victor in the 11th
inning.  Yogi Berra smashed a bases-empty 'big-fly' (his 1st of the season).
Limerick took care of Athens with no trouble in the bottom of the 11th.

The winning pitcher was Jesse Tannehill(1-0) who allowed no runs in 2 innings.
Stan Coveleski earned the save, his 1st.  Mel Parnell(0-1) was tagged with
the loss in relief.  He surrendered 1 hit and no walks in 1 and 1/3 innings.
