WEB GEMS- Top 2nd: Jose Valentin robbed Mike Matheny of a base hit.

The Sterling Silver Sluggers edged the Bristol Blasters at Windblown Stadium
by the score of 7 to 6.

It was a good day for Sterling thanks to Ken Griffey Jr.  He cleared the bases
with a Grand Slam homerun in the 5th inning and slapped a base-hit in the 7th
inning.  Bristol had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short.

The win went to Doug Brocail(4-5) who allowed no runs in 2 innings. Brocail
got help from Mike Timlin who earned his 21st save.  The losing pitcher was
Mike Bielecki(2-3) in relief.  He was not very effective, surrendering 3 runs
in 2 innings.  

'This was a tough loss,' said Steve Sustakowski, 'the kind that sticks with
you for awhile.'
