In a good matchup it was the Athens Bobkittens 5, the Limerick Hurlers 3 at
Tiger Stadium.

Limerick was unable to recover after Athens went ahead in the bottom of the
6th inning scoring a single run using 4 hits.  Limerick threatened in the 9th
but their rally came up short. 

The win went to Noodles Hahn(1-0) who allowed 3 runs in 8 and 2/3 innings.
Hahn got relief help from Tom Henke who gained credit for his 1st save.  Don
Newcombe(0-1) was tagged with the loss. 

'This was a tough loss,' said Jimmy Dugan, 'the kind that sticks with you for
awhile.'
