Babe Ruth had 4 hits and 8 RBI at Tiger Stadium where the Brentwood Bearcats
beat the North Eaton Posy DagGumits by the score of 11 to 5.

Ruth was spectacular at the plate.  The hometown fans showed their
appreciation with a standing ovation his last time at bat.  He slapped a
one-base hit resulting in a run in the 1st inning, tripled which was good for
two runs in the 3rd inning, delivered a base-hit scoring two baserunners in
the 6th inning and lost the ball over the fence for three runs (his 8th of
the season) in the 8th inning.  Brentwood had a total of 10 hits for the
game. 

Nolan Ryan(2-3) went 6 and 2/3 innings allowing 3 runs for the victory. Ryan
got help from Goose Gossage who was credited with his 8th save.  Russ
Ford(2-3) took the loss.  He was knocked around pretty good, giving up 8 runs
in 5 and 2/3 innings. 

Ruth said, 'It was just all timing. I had pretty good rhythm at the plate
tonight.  You've got to take advantage of mistakes when you can.  A couple
pitches were definitely up a little bit - right in my zone.'
