TEAM RISP- Loons: 6 for 15 Silver Sluggers: 2 for 5
The Sterling Silver Sluggers ended a long winless drought and cruised to a 10
to 5 victory over the Minnesota Loons at Silver Slipper Park.
Sterling took the lead for good in the bottom of the 6th inning scoring 3 runs
on 2 hits. After an out was recorded, Merv Rettenmund was the sparkplug when
he drew a walk. Rennie Stennett was next and he banged out a single.
Stennett then stole second base. Ellis Valentine was up next and he lined a
base-hit, and an error was also committed, bringing in two baserunners.
Robin Yount came to the plate and hit a sacrifice fly scoring the final run
of the inning. Sterling had 15 hits for the night.
The victory was credited to Doyle Alexander(2-2) who went 6 innings, allowing
3 runs. The loss was charged to Bob Owchinko(0-1) in relief. He allowed 1
run and 1 hit in 2/3 of an inning.
'Wow. That's about all I can think to say.' said Ozzie Guillen following the
victory. 'If ever a team needed a win, it was us.'
