Right fielder Hank Aaron cracked 2 homeruns as the Bat Cracking Bombers beat
the Limerick Hurlers in 11 innings by a score of 3 to 2.

Both teams were tied at 2 runs apiece after nine innings.  Bat Cracking was
victorious in the 11th inning.  After an out was recorded, Aaron cracked a
solo homerun (his 17th of the season) giving Bat Cracking the victory and
sending the 36,071 home-town fans home happy.  Bat Cracking had 9 hits for
the game and Limerick had 6. 

The victory went to Mario Soto(2-0) who went 1 and 2/3 innings, allowing no
runs. Babe Adams(1-5) was hit with the loss in relief.  He gave up 1 hit and
no walks in 1 and 1/3 innings.
