George Hendrick smacked 2 homeruns at Rolling Thunder Park as the Pittsburgh
Bichipoos beat the Hibbing Dylans by the count of 10 to 4.

Hendrick was a source of great heartache for the Hibbing faithful all evening.
He just kept pounding out hits! He doubled which scored a run in the 1st
inning, quieted the crowd by clouting a Grand Slam in the 3rd inning and
smashed a solo-shot out of the park in the 8th inning.  Pittsburgh out-hit
Hibbing for the game, 14 hits to 7.  

The victory went to Dick Ruthven(7-2) who went 6 innings, allowing 3 runs. The
loss was charged to Bob Knepper(6-5).  He was knocked around by Pittsburgh,
allowing 8 hits and 2 walks in 5 innings.  

Danny Murtaugh was just happy to get a win, 'We've had such a bad streak of
games -- boy, it's great to get the monkey off our back.  Now maybe we can
relax a little and play the kind of baseball of which we are capable.'
