Billy Pierce delivered 9 solid innings at SAFECO Field where the Limerick
Hurlers beat the Harvey Wallbangers 2 to 0.

Limerick came up with 2 runs in the top of the 4th inning.  The critical plate
appearance was by Mark McGwire who silenced SAFECO Field as he cracked a
two-run shot (his 28th of the season).  The pitchers took over after the 4th
inning as neither team was able to score again. 

Pierce(2-2) was credited with the shutout. Greg Maddux(8-6) took the loss.  He
gave up just 2 runs and 4 hits in 8 innings.  'We didn't have a whole lot of
chances tonight,' Harvey's manager said.  'Pierce just was too much for our
guys.'
