TEAM RISP- Bichipoos: 5 for 16  Royalty: 6 for 16

Catcher John Stearns blasted a grand slam as the Pittsburgh Bichipoos defeated
the Cincinatti Royalty by the score of 11 to 9 at The Launch Palace.

Stearns had a big day with his bat.  He emptied the bases with a Grand Slam
homerun in the 2nd inning and doubled in the 8th inning.  Cincinatti tried
unsuccessfully to come back in the 9th.  

John Hiller(7-6) picked up the victory, allowing no runs in 2 innings. Hiller
was helped out by Gary Lavelle who recorded his 14th save.  Bob Forsch(12-3)
was charged with the loss.  He was hit hard and gave up 12 hits and 5 walks
in 5 innings.  

When questioned, Danny Murtaugh remarked, 'It's been a while since a win felt
this good - heck, it's been a while since we had a win period!'
