WEB GEMS- Top 1st: Joe Cronin robbed Wade Boggs of a base hit.

Chief Bender completed the game without help from the bullpen and left fielder
Barry Bonds had 2 base hits and 3 RBI at Shibe Park as the Limerick Hurlers
beat the Grand River Ghostmen by the count of 8 to 6.

Bender(3-4) pitched a fine game.  He surrendered 8 hits and 5 walks in 9
innings.  Limerick had a total of 14 hits for the game. 

Roger Nelson(0-2) was hit with the loss in relief.  'I just wanted to give my
team a chance to win.' said Bender, 'I got burned on a couple of pitches. But
we won the game, and that's all that matters.'
