Elston Howard had 2 base hits and 2 RBI at Shibe Park as the Limerick Hurlers
pulled off a dramatic comeback beating the Brentwood Bearcats by the count of
10 to 9.

Limerick scored the decisive runs in a big 9th inning with 2 runs using 3
hits.  Goose Goslin led off and he stroked a single.  After an out was
recorded, Mel Ott stepped in and he tripled resulting in a run.  Mark McGwire
then lined a one-base hit making Limerick the victor and beginning a joyous
home town celebration.  Limerick had a total of 14 hits for the game. 

Vic Willis(3-0) was the winner allowing no runs in 1/3 of an inning. Luis
Tiant(1-2) was the losing pitcher in relief.  He surrendered 3 hits and no
walks in 1 and 2/3 innings.
