WEB GEMS- Top 3rd: Joe Ferguson blocked the plate, saving a run!

Gary Carter slammed 3 homeruns and had 5 RBI and Rick Rhoden was able to
finish what he started and was credited with a complete game as the Sterling
Silver Sluggers topped the Denver Dingers by a score of 11 to 3 at Mile High
Ballpark.

Carter really lit it up for Sterling.  The Denver fans let him have it for
what he did to their boys.  He ripped a one-base hit in the 3rd inning,
cracked a solo homerun in the 5th inning, hit a bases-empty home run in the
7th inning and clubbed a three-run home run in the 8th inning.  Offensively,
Sterling was a juggernaut.  They scored in 6 separate innings.

Rhoden(13-5) got the victory, allowing 3 runs for the game. Rick Waits(5-9)
was the loser.  Carter said, 'It was just all timing. I had pretty good
rhythm at the plate today.  You've got to take advantage of mistakes when you
can.  A couple pitches were definitely up a little bit - right in my zone.'
