Mike Schmidt cracked a homer at Veterans Stadium as the Bristol Blasters beat
the Sterling Silver Sluggers 3 to 2.

Bristol drew first blood jumping out to an early lead in the first inning when
they tallied 2 runs on 3 hits.  Sterling made it exciting in the 9th, but
they were unable to push the needed runs across.  

The win went to Jerry Reuss(1-0) who allowed 2 runs in 8 innings. Reuss got
relief help from Al Hrabosky who gained credit for his 1st save.  Doyle
Alexander(1-2) suffered the loss.  He was touched for 3 homeruns in his 6
innings of work.  

Despite losing Ozzie Guillen was optimistic after the game.  'We'll get over
this one.  Sometimes the breaks fall your way, sometimes they don't.  Any one
of a dozen little things go different, and we come out on top.'
