Bat Cracking had 2 runs cross the plate in the top of the 5th inning with the help of 4 hits. After two were out Hank Aaron opened up the scoring as he smashed a bases-empty 'big-fly' (his 28th of the season). McGwire stepped up to the plate and he lofted a solo-blast 'downtown' (his 37th of the season). Bat Cracking had 14 hits for the afternoon. The victory was credited to Joe McGinnity(7-6) who went 5 innings, allowing 1 run. Bruce Sutter got the save, his 26th. Lefty Grove(6-16) was the losing pitcher. 'I just wanted to give my team a chance to win.' said McGinnity, 'I got burned on a couple of pitches. But we won the game, and that's all that matters.' |
