Tim Raines left the yard and had 2 RBI as the Grand River Ghostmen rallied impressively to win in dramatic style over Limerick Hurlers, 7 to 5. Grand River came through with the game-winning runs in the top of the 9th inning scoring 5 runners on 6 hits. The key offensive moment was provided by Raines who quieted the crowd when he blasted a two-run home run (his 1st of the season). Overall Grand River out-hit Limerick 11 to 5. The win went to Andy Messersmith(1-3) who allowed 2 runs in 1 and 1/3 innings. Messersmith was helped out by John Wetteland who recorded his 12th save. Babe Adams(1-4) was charged with the loss in relief. 'We just kept swinging the bats and didn't give up,' Raines said. 'If you just keep trying good things can happen!' |
