WEB GEMS- Bot 2nd: Joe Cronin robbed Dizzy Dean of a base hit.

Dizzy Dean came through with a solid 7 innings and third baseman Sid Gordon
cracked a homer as the Grand River Ghostmen defeated the Limerick Hurlers 4
to 2 at Yankee Stadium.

Grand River had 3 runs cross the plate in the bottom of the 7th inning when
they had 4 base hits.  It was enough to earn the victory.  Grand River
finished with 12 hits while Limerick ended up with 5. 

The victory was credited to Dean(3-0) who went 7 innings, allowing 2 runs.
Dean got relief help from John Wetteland who gained credit for his 3rd save.
Jesse Tannehill(1-2) was the loser in relief.  He pitched 1/3 of an inning
giving up 3 hits and no walks.

With this win, Grand River has a 8-12 record.  They have been 6-4 lately.
With the loss Limerick now has a record of 12-8.
