WEB GEMS- Top 1st: Charlie Gehringer robbed Edd Roush of a base hit.

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.'
