Wolfpack 8 Flames 0

Great pitching by Wayne Heaton extinguished the big bats of the Flames for a 8-0 shutout. The Pack played flawless defense protecting 4-0 lead over the first three innings. The Wolfpack offense roared back this game with 3 timely hits from Dick Tosti, Phil Angiolini, Jack Galloway and Howard Borochaner. Also contributing to the scoring was Ron Mangini (now seeing only one ball being pitched) with a sac rbi and 2 hits, Tracey Zimmerman, Keith Klasic, Curtis Bragg, Wayne Heaton, Craig Niederpruem and Augustus Rosenblatt (who shaved for the game) each with 1 hit.
It was a great team effort by every player on the Wolfpack.

The Flames were turned into embers by the Wolfpack in an 8-0 loss. Derek Foster stepped up to pitch with Norm Derry out with an injury. Derek also led the offense with three hits including a double. Ken Radon had three hits and tied the rest of his teammates for the highest (and lowest) percentage of RBI's. Frank Glauser had two hits and turned a third to first doubleplay. Other strong defensive plays were made by Gene Corrado in leftfield, Kevin Grevera in left center field, Derek Foster at pitcher, and Ken Radon at first base.

Blue Jays 11 Starr 5

The Blue Jays took advantage of a banged up Starr squad, capitalized on some outfield misplays, and played steady defense to down Starr by a score of 11 to 5. Starr scored 3 runs in the bottom of the fifth to jump ahead 5 to 3 but the Blue Jays piled on scoring 4 runs in both the 6th and 7th innings. Jeff Blank stepped up to the plate in the leadoff position to replace the missing Jim Klemick and went 2 for 4 with a run scored. Tom Sikora stepped up to the plate whenever he felt like doing so, and chipped in with 3 hits and 3 RBI's. The bluebird defense made their share of miscues but rebounded well and never let Starr rack up a big inning. Bob Doernberg extended his glove hand and leaped high to catch a line drive to end the game. I didn't see him actually leave the ground but I had his assurance that he did so.
