In a one-sided affair the Grand River Ghostmen batters pounded the Sacramento
Soches pitchers for 10 runs while Rube Waddell(1-0), with relief help from
Mark Fidrych, held Sacramento to 1 run.

Grand River drew first blood jumping out to an early lead in the first inning
as they scored 4 runs on 4 base hits.  The early run support proved
sufficient for Waddell and Grand River.  That was all the run support Waddell
required.  Grand River had 13 hits for the night while Sacramento had 9.

Whitey Ford(0-1) was given the loss.  His biggest problem was control as he
allowed 5 walks in 2 and 1/3 innings.
