WEB GEMS- Bot 8th: Gary Carter blocked the plate, saving a run!

In a good matchup it was the N. Ridgeville Bandits 7, the Athens Bobkittens 5
at Tiger Stadium.

N. Ridgeville had 5 runs cross the plate in the top of the 4th inning when
they had 3 base hits.  The big moment was provided by Paul Molitor who
silenced the crowd when he doubled with all three runners coming home.
Athens had 12 hits in the game while N. Ridgeville had 7, but N. Ridgeville
had the more timely hits. 

Dennis Martinez(2-1) picked up the victory, allowing 3 runs in 6 and 1/3
innings. Steve Howe was credited with his 3rd save.  Carl Mays(2-2) took the
loss.  He was not very effective, surrendering 6 runs in 3 and 2/3 innings.

'I was a little good, a little bad and a little ugly.' said Martinez, 'I was
just giving us a chance to win.'
