Don Newcombe pitched a 3 hitter and Edd Roush had 2 base hits as the Limerick
Hurlers defeated the Bat Cracking Bombers by the score of 4 to 1 at Tiger
Stadium.

Bat Cracking fell behind quickly as the Limerick offense came through in the
first inning plating an isolated run utilizing 2 base hits. Bat Cracking
went down quietly in the bottom of the 9th.

The victory went to Newcombe(9-14) who went the distance allowing 1 run. Larry
Corcoran(12-12) was the loser. He was the victim of a defensive lapse and
did not allow an earned run in the game.
