First baseman Boog Powell jacked one out of the ballyard and had 2 RBI and Jim
Devlin came through with a solid 8 innings as the Limerick Hurlers outscored
the Bat Cracking Bombers 7 to 5.

Bat Cracking never recovered after Limerick took the lead in the 7th inning as
they scored 2 runs on 1 base hits.  The crucial at-bat was provided by Powell
who came through for the home fans when he lifted one out of the park for a
two run home run (his 5th of the season).  Overall Limerick out-hit Bat
Cracking 9 to 5. 

Devlin(4-3) went 8 innings allowing 5 runs for the victory. Devlin got help
from Dick Hall who was credited with his 2nd save.  Hideo Nomo(3-3) absorbed
the loss in relief.
