In a great finish the Hinckley Buzzards came back in the top of the ninth and
held on to win over the Athens Bobkittens by a score of 5 to 3 at Tiger
Stadium.

Hinckley came up with the deciding runs in the top of the 8th inning scoring 2
runs on 4 hits.  After an out was recorded, Carl Yastrzemski was the
sparkplug when he delivered a single.  Brock got a great jump and stole
second easily.  Willie Keeler then bombed a two-run dinger (his 5th of the
season).  The game was a scoreless duel until the 6th inning. 

The winning pitcher was Dan Plesac(1-2) who allowed no runs in 2 innings.
Chief Bender(5-7) suffered the loss.  He allowed 5 hits and 4 walks in 7 and
1/3 innings.
