Jake Weimer shut down the Athens batters on just 2 hits as the Bat Cracking
Bombers defeated the Athens Bobkittens by a score of 2 to 0 at Tiger
Stadium.

Bat Cracking had the winning rally in the top of the 9th inning scoring 2 runs
utilizing 4 base hits.  Lefty O'Doul led off and he banged out a single.
Bonds stole second with some aggressive base running.  Hank Aaron then lifted
one out of the park for a two run home run (his 38th of the season).  Athens
was retired without difficulty in the bottom of the 9th. 

Weimer(14-8) was credited with the shutout. Chief Bender(6-11) was tagged with
the loss.  'When Weimer is on like that it is a tough game to play, no doubt
about it,' Athens' manager said. 'He always pitches well against us.'
