Brentwood came up with the deciding runs in the 9th inning with 2 runs using 2 hits. After an out was recorded, Cal Ripken Jr. was the sparkplug when he banged out a single. One out later, Hank Greenberg stepped up to the plate and he drew a walk. Van Haltren then drew a walk to load the bases. Juan Gonzalez was up next and he slapped a one-base hit making Brentwood the victor and beginning a joyous home town celebration. Brentwood rapped out 12 hits for the night. The victory was credited to Goose Gossage(1-2) who went 1 and 2/3 innings, allowing 1 run. The loss was charged to Wilbur Cooper(1-2) in relief. He allowed 1 run and no hits in 1/3 of an inning. 'Now there is a lesson in perseverance for you,' Van Haltren noted. 'It was looking pretty dim there for a while, but we just kept plugging away and it really paid off in spades! And it was great to see the crowd go crazy there at the end!' |
