First baseman Lou Gehrig smashed 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI at Tiger Stadium as
the Athens Bobkittens won in their last at-bat beating the Bat Cracking
Bombers by the count of 9 to 8.

The game was won by Athens with a run in the 9th inning.  After an out was
recorded, Dick Allen cracked a solo homerun (his 7th of the season) giving
Athens the victory and sending the 34,385 home-town fans home happy.  Athens
banged out 10 on the afternoon. 

Harry Brecheen(11-8) was the winner allowing no runs in 4 innings. David
Wells(3-6) was given the loss in relief.  He surrendered 1 hit and 1 walk in
1 and 1/3 innings.
