Sam Thompson hit 2 doubles at SAFECO Field as the Harvey Wallbangers beat the
Grand River Ghostmen 3 to 2.

Greg Maddux(9-6) pitched a fine game.  He was reached for 8 hits and no walks
in 8 innings lowering his ERA to 4.32.  Grand River made it exciting in the
9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs across. 

Maddux got help from Rob Dibble who was credited with his 4th save.  The loss
was charged to Lefty Grove(5-13).  He surrendered 8 hits and 4 walks in 8
innings. 

'Some losses are harder to take than others' Buck Guthrie lamented after the
game.  'This was one of them.'
