Grand River had the winning rally in the 9th inning with 3 runs. After an out was recorded, Augie Galan kicked off the action when he smashed a solo-shot out of the park (his 1st of the season). Mickey Mantle stepped into the batter's box and he drew a walk. Buck Guthrie then called for a steal which was successful. Willie Mays followed and he would hit into a fielders choice plating another run. Grand River continued their aggressive style with another stolen base. Bill Dickey kept the rally going and would hit into a fielders choice scoring the final run of the inning. Grand River finished with 10 hits in the victory. The win was credited to Andy Messersmith(4-6) who went 2 innings allowing 1 run. Goose Gossage(2-7) was tagged with the loss in relief. Brentwood's manager was not very talkative after his team's tough loss. 'I'm not in the mood for questions, but I'm sure Buck Guthrie will be glad to talk about the game as long as you have questions to ask.' |
