Harvey erupted with the game winning runs in the bottom of the 9th inning with 2 runs using 3 hits. Williams kicked off the action when he tripled. Jack Clark stepped up next and he drew a walk. Heinie Manush then doubled scoring a run. Ryan Klesko came up and he laced a base-knock making Harvey the victor and beginning a joyous home town celebration. Harvey rapped out 9 hits for the afternoon. The win was credited to Pete Richert(2-0) who went 2 innings allowing no runs. Jerry Koosman(0-1) suffered the loss in relief. He allowed 1 hit and 1 walk without retiring a batter. Harvey's manager was all smiles after the ballgame, 'It sure was looking pretty dim there for a while, but our guys never gave up - and neither did our fans - they kept cheering us on. What a sweet win!' |
