Brady watches Alexander's 7th inning pitch sail in off the mark to help him set the HHASL walks record.

Houston, TX - The HHASL base on balls record didn't last as long as Chicago White Sox outfielder Tink Foster would have hoped. The record of 117 walks which Foster set last season was broken last night by Pittsburgh Pirates left fielder Johnny A. Brady as he drew his 118th walk of the season off Houston Astros pitcher Farmer Alexander in the 7th inning.
"I don't really think the feeling has set in yet," an exhausted Brady said after the game "I think that I'll have more time to think about it after the season is done.  Winning and getting into the playoffs is the top priority right now."
The game was a wild affair with the Pirates coming out on top 13-12, featuring 3 lead changes and a combined 34 hits between the two teams. Don White was named the High Heat Player of the Game after going 4 for 4 with 4 RBI's and his 25th homerun of the season
When Brady was asked if he knew he was closing in on the record, he answered, "Of course I did. That's all that Andy (Kirby) has been talking about these days. He's a guy who likes keeping up with the stats and milestones and he likes to make sure everybody is aware of them. Man, I'd hate to be a pitcher taking a no-hitter into the ninth cause I know he'd bring it up and jinx me or something."
