The Limerick Hurlers came in to the game in quite a tailspin, but they were able to snap their 5 game slide and topped the Bat Cracking Bombers by the slimmest of margins, 6 to 5. Edd Roush had a big day against Bat Cracking. He laced a one-base hit in the 1st inning, doubled scoring a run in the 3rd inning and bombed a two-run dinger (his 10th of the season) in the 7th inning. Bat Cracking had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short. The win went to Jim Devlin(5-6) who allowed 4 runs in 6 innings. Bob Shawkey gained credit for his 1st save. Mario Soto(8-2) was charged with the loss in relief. Jimmy Dugan was in a talkative mood in the clubhouse, 'Great game! If only we could win all of the close ones - wouldn't that be nice! Since that's not going to happen, I think I'll savor this one for a little while.' |
