Mike Schmidt blasted 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI as the Athens Bobkittens
destroyed the Limerick Hurlers by a score of 13 to 3 at Shibe Park.

The Limerick fans didn't appreciate the big day Schmidt had.  He bombed a
two-run dinger in the 5th inning and smacked a three-run homer (his 39th of
the season) in the 8th inning.  Athens provided plenty of action in the 8th
inning when they had 6 runs on 6 hits.  Athens kept the pressure on
throughout the contest as they scored in 6 different innings. 

Russ Ford(10-8) was the winner allowing 1 run in 7 innings. The losing pitcher
was Cy Young(3-10).  He surrendered 12 hits and 1 walk in 6 innings.
