Sid Gordon connected with a 'big fly' and scored 3 times at Yankee Stadium
where the Grand River Ghostmen beat the Brentwood Bearcats 5 to 3.

Dazzy Vance(7-10) delivered a fine performance for Grand River.  He went 6 and
1/3 innings surrendering 5 hits and 5 walks.  Vance struckout 7 Brentwood
batters seeing his ERA drop from 4.46 to 4.24.  Sal Maglie earned the save
with a perfect ninth, his 3rd save. 

Nolan Ryan(13-8) was the losing pitcher.  'I always am most impressed when a
pitcher finds a way to win even without his best stuff,' Buck Guthrie said
after the game.  'Vance did not have command of his pitches most of the
night, but he proved he really knew how to pitch!'
