Joe Gordon homered and had 3 RBI and Walter Johnson tossed a complete game at
Chuck Norris Stadium where the Walkerville Texas Rangers beat the Bernstein
Bears by the score of 9 to 3.
Walkerville took the lead for good in the 7th inning scoring 2 runs. After an
out was recorded, Buck Ewing got things rolling when he drew a walk. Wee
Willie Keeler stepped up next and he tripled. Rickey Henderson then would
hit into a fielders choice. After another out, Ty Cobb got his turn next,
but he was a strikeout victim. Walkerville rapped out 11 hits for the
afternoon.
The win went to Johnson(6-1) who allowed 3 runs in the game. Juan
Marichal(1-4) was charged with the loss. Walkerville won for the 6th
straight time. Sam Bernstein was upset but philosophical about the loss.
'Sometimes you run into a team that's on a roll. This was one of those
times.'

Bonds provided much of the offense. He doubled scoring a run in the 4th
inning, lined a base-hit in the 6th inning and smashed a two-run homer (his
4th of the season) in the 8th inning. Verona Ridge had many opportunities
throughout the game and scored in 6 separate innings.

Motors batters at Vermont Field where the Vermont Saps beat the General
Motors Corporate Jets 6 to 4.
Walsh(2-5) had a strong outing. He gave up just 6 hits and 2 walks in 9
innings and surrendered 2 'long-bombs' reducing his ERA from 5.34 to 4.88.
The General Motors offense proved no trouble in the 9th.
The losing pitcher was Chief Bender(1-7). He got hit pretty hard, allowing 11
hits and 4 walks in 8 innings. Everyone seemed to enjoy the performance of
Walsh - except General Motors. Eeyore lamented, 'He just was 'on' this
afternoon. He was keeping our guys off balance all game. A fine game by a
good strikeout pitcher - makes it a fun game for the hometown fans -
unfortunately we were the visitors!'
