San Francisco (5-6) / Detroit (7-4)

WP- Sanderson (2-0)
LP- Wilcox (1-2)

Will Clark has been on absolute fire! He became the first player in league history to have back-to-back games with at least 2 Home Runs, and tied the league record of 7 RBI's in a game (tying Darren Daulton of the 93' Phillies); his stats the last two games: 5-for-8 (.625), 4 HR, 2B & 12 RBI. His season numbers have also jumped, he now has 6 HR & possibly the league lead in RBI with a total of 18 ribbies.

The Tigers' four runs came off of Darrell Evan's Grand Slam during the bottom of the first, Milt Wilcox was once again terrible for Detroit.

Jack Pfeister, finally got himself a victory after the bullpen blown his other two possible decisions. Pfiester has a 1.08 ERA & 19 K's in 25 IP, this season. Frank Schulte had an RBI triple during the bottom of the first, where the Cubs did most of their damage with 3 runs & 3 hits. Don Hoak hit a solo HR for the Bucs.

1999 Rangers  7   10   0   F

San Francisco (4-7) / Texas (6-5)

WP- Cumberland (2-0)
LP- Burkett (1-2)

The Giants jumped all over John Burkett and the Rangers, as San Francisco snaps a league-record seven game losing-streak. Willie Mays went 4-for-5, 2 HR's, 2B, 2 RBI & tied the league record of 4 runs in a single-game. Dave Kingman flirted with the cycle, hitting a HR in the first, a triple in the second, and a double in the seventh, he would ground out to Royce Clayton to finish his night; Kingman went 3-for-5 with 5 RBI. Bobby Bonds also added a two-run HR for the Giants, while Juan Gonzalez hit a Grand Salami for the Rangers of Arlington.

Rangers have a winning record, despite their awful 6.70 ERA!

                           R   H   E
1940 Reds          2    5   0
1935 Crawfords  3   8   0    F

Cincinnati (3-8) / Pittsburgh (10-1)

WP- Ro.Davis (2-0)
LP- Hutchings (1-1)
SV- Paige (2)

The Crawfords tied the 1998 Atlanta Braves' league record of seven consecutive victories in a row, as the lineup squeaks a couple runs off the Reds' bullpen during the bottom of the seventh. The Reds' bullpen, now has a record of 1-4. The Crawfords' Roosevelt Davis (a APBA D-Y starting pitcher), once again went above and beyond with another excellent outing -- 8 Innings of 4 hit ball, allowing only two runs while striking out five batters; He now has 2-0 record, 2.19 ERA, 16 K's & a shutout in 24 2/3 innings!

1953 Dodgers    10  10   1   F

Boston (6-5) / Brooklyn (5-6)

WP- Loes (1-1)
LP- Crutcher (0-2)

After a 16-Inning marathon, the Dodgers made sure to take it to Dick Crutcher early; Jackie Robinson shined in his best outing of the season with a 3-for-5 performance, that included a three-run Home Run. Pee Wee Reese & Billy Cox each added solo HR's as well. Butch Schmidt, who went 2-for-4 for Boston, got plunked by a pitch for a league-leading five times now in only eleven games (that's a lot of bruises)!

Los Angeles (4-7) / Cleveland (5-6)

WP- Hooton (2-1)
LP- K.Hill (1-2)
SV- Hough (4)

Burt Hooton helped the Dodgers end a five-game skid, pitching a great game that allowed only two hits and one earned run in seven innings. Steve Yeager hit a solo HR, for only his 3rd hit in 30 at-bats. Carlos Baerga   & Jim Thome each hit solo HR's in a losing effort for the Tribe.
