Nolan Ryan racked up an impressive total of 12 strikeouts and left fielder
Willie Stargell smashed 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI as the Brentwood Bearcats
beat the Bat Cracking Bombers by a score of 9 to 3.

Stargell had a big evening at the plate.  He popped a two-run clout over the
fence in the 1st inning and hit a bases-empty home run (his 35th of the
season) in the 8th inning.  Brentwood rapped out 12 hits for the night.

Ryan(13-7) picked up the complete game victory, allowing 3 runs. Jake
Weimer(10-7) was the loser.  He allowed a few too many baserunners giving up
7 hits and 3 walks in 4 innings. 

Everyone seemed to enjoy the performance of Ryan - except Bat Cracking.  Bat
Cracking's manager lamented, 'He just was 'on' tonight.  He was keeping our
guys off balance all game.  A fine game by a good strikeout pitcher - makes
it a fun game for the hometown fans - unfortunately we were the visitors!'
