What HAL had to say

Catcher Biz Mackey had 2 base hits and 2 RBI and Jim Merritt was able to

finish what he started and was credited with a complete game as the Missouri

River Bats defeated the St. Louis Perfectos by the score of 6 to 1 at

Sportsman's Park.

 

Missouri had 4 runs cross the plate in the 4th inning with the help of 4 hits.

The key at-bat was by Jackie Robinson who quieted the home crowd when he

slapped a base-hit bringing in two baserunners.  Missouri had a total of 11

hits for the game. 

 

The win went to Merritt(3-1) who allowed 1 run in the game. Phil Niekro(1-4)

took the loss.  He was knocked around, surrendering 5 runs in 4 innings.
