Hank Greenberg smashed 3 homeruns and had 7 RBI at Tiger Stadium as the Brentwood Bearcats beat the Limerick Hurlers 10 to 6. Greenberg provided much of the offense. He lined a one-base hit in the 2nd inning, blasted a solo shot in the 4th inning, clubbed a three-run home run in the 6th inning and belted a three-run homer (his 8th of the season) in the 8th inning. Limerick threatened in the 9th but their rally came up short. The victory went to Luis Tiant(1-0) who went 7 and 1/3 innings, allowing 4 runs. Tiant got help from Goose Gossage who earned his 5th save. Marius Russo(0-1) took the loss. He was touched for 3 homeruns in his 5 and 2/3 innings of work. 'I was in my hotel room the other night, working on my swing and made some adjustments,' Greenberg said. 'I'm always working on it. If they are getting you out certain ways, you've got to make changes.' |
