The Bat Cracking Bombers put 5 runs on the scoreboard in the 6th inning and won by the slimmest of margins, 6 to 5. Larry Corcoran(2-0) looked very much in control throughout the day. He allowed just 7 hits and 1 walk in 8 and 1/3 innings lowering his ERA to 1.65. Limerick made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs across. Dazzy Vance recorded his 2nd save. The losing pitcher was Jesse Tannehill(2-1). He gave up 6 runs in 5 and 2/3 innings of work. |
