Center fielder Al Simmons had 4 hits and 4 RBI at Shibe Park as the N.
Ridgeville Bandits beat the Limerick Hurlers by the count of 17 to
9.

Simmons was in a groove all evening.  The Limerick fans hated to see him
approaching the batter's box.  He hit a bases-empty home run (his 14th of the
season) in the 4th inning, laced a base-knock in the 5th inning, doubled
which was good for two runs in the 6th inning and doubled knocking in a run
in the 9th inning.  N. Ridgeville lit up the scoreboard in the 5th inning
which saw them plate 4 runs on 4 hits and the 9th inning when they had 4 runs
on 4 hits.  The N. Ridgeville offense man-handled the Limerick pitching staff
as they scored in 7 of the 9 innings. 

Dennis Martinez(4-6) picked up the victory, allowing 5 runs in 5 and 2/3
innings. Mel Harder earned his 1st save.  Jim Devlin(2-2) suffered the loss.
He gave up 8 runs in 4 and 1/3 innings of work. 

When questioned, N. Ridgeville's manager remarked, 'It's been a while since a
win felt this good - heck, it's been a while since we had a win period!'
