Center fielder Bobby Bonds slammed a homerun and scored 3 times as the Bat Cracking Bombers topped the Limerick Hurlers by a score of 6 to 2 at Shibe Park. Bat Cracking had 3 runs cross the plate in the 4th inning. Wade Boggs started the inning off right when he slapped a single, and an error was also committed. Bonds stepped up next and he drew a walk. After another out, Mark McGwire got his turn next, but he was a strikeout victim. Joe Torre came up and he laced a base-knock, and an error was also committed, clearing all three ducks off the pond. Bat Cracking managed only 6 on the afternoon. The victory was credited to Willie Hernandez(3-4) who went 7 and 2/3 innings, allowing 1 run. Billy Pierce(4-4) was the loser. He was pinned with the loss despite not allowing an earned run in his 5 innings of work. |
