WEB GEMS- Top 3rd: Heine Groh robbed Joe Torre of a base hit.

Heine Groh had 3 base hits and 3 RBI at Shibe Park where the Limerick Hurlers
beat the Bat Cracking Bombers by the score of 11 to 10.

Limerick came up with 4 runs in the 5th inning when they had 3 base hits.  The
critical plate appearance was by Groh who brought a roar from the partisan
Shibe Park fans when he smacked a single plating two runs.  Bat Cracking
threatened in the 9th but Limerick was able to put down the rally. 

The win was credited to Jesse Tannehill(2-3) who went 3 and 2/3 innings
allowing 2 runs. Tannehill was helped out by Wilbur Cooper who recorded his
3rd save.  Larry Corcoran(10-11) ended up with the loss.  He allowed 10 hits
and 3 walks in 4 and 2/3 innings. 

Bat Cracking's manager was subdued when questioned after the game, 'Sure, this
kind of loss takes a while to get over, but heck, we're all professionals.
We've been through this many times - it's the nature of the game.  We'll be
fine - as for me - I'll be ready to go again tomorrow!'
