Sid Gordon had 4 hits and 2 RBI at Shibe Park as the Grand River Ghostmen beat
the Limerick Hurlers by the count of 13 to 8.

Grand River promptly took the lead in their half of the first scoring 2 runs
on 4 hits.  After an out was recorded, Tim Raines got things going when he
slapped a single.  Raines then stole second base.  Mickey Mantle then
singled.  Grand River continued their aggressive style with another stolen
base.  Willie Mays stepped into the box and would ground out resulting in a
run.  Billy Williams contributed to the rally and delivered a one-base hit
scoring the final run of the inning.  The Grand River offense man-handled the
Limerick pitching staff as they scored in 7 of the 9 innings. 

Frank Owen(1-3) went 8 and 2/3 innings allowing 5 runs for the win. The losing
pitcher was Jim Devlin(4-6).  He was touched for 13 hits and 5 walks in 6 and
1/3 innings. 

Grand River now has a record of 52-70.  With the loss, Limerick has a record
of 5-5 lately, 58-65 overall.
