Frankie Frisch collected 2 extra-base hits and had 3 RBI as the Bat Cracking
Bombers defeated the Grand River Ghostmen by the score of 13 to 6 at Tiger
Stadium.

Bat Cracking promptly took the lead in their half of the first scoring 5
runners on 5 hits.  The critical plate appearance was by Ozzie Smith who
brought the crowd to their feet when he laced a single scoring two
baserunners.  Bat Cracking ended up with 17 hits for the game while Grand
River had 13. 

Jake Weimer(8-4) got credit for the victory, pitching 8 innings and allowing 6
runs. Dave McNally(0-2) was given the loss.  He gave up 5 hits and 2 walks in
1/3 of an inning.
