Limerick won the game with a rally in the 9th inning scoring 2 runs using 3 hits. Boog Powell opened up the inning nicely when he slapped a one-base hit, and an error was also committed. After an out was recorded, Edd Roush stepped in and he lined a base-hit, and an error was also committed, plating a run. Joe Cronin then drew a walk. Goose Goslin was up next and he doubled resulting in a mighty exciting win for Limerick and the 36,624 home town fans in attendance. The game was a wild affair with the lead changing hands 5 times. The victory went to Dick Hall(1-1) who went 2 innings, allowing 1 run. Dennis Eckersley(1-4) absorbed the loss in relief. 'Now there is a lesson in perseverance for you,' Bonds 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!' |
