RECAP
What a way for VG to earn his first win.  Facing the 10-run rule in the 7th, he came alive with 4 runs.  His team scored 9 runs in the final 2 innings, while giving up only 2.

The top of the 7th was big for GJ.  The pitcher led off with a groundout, but Ozzie, DeCinces, and Puckett followed it up with back-to-back-to-back homeruns.  Anytime Ozzie hits one, you know your pitcher is dead.

VG's 8th inning won put him in the game.  He batted around, with singles and doubles.  Sullivan pinch-hit for Burks to make the final out - what a move.  

In the bottom of the ninth, VG was down 14-15 and had Coleman on third.  Stawberry hit a grounder to first - and BOP! -  Straw reached by a half step and Coleman scored the tying run.  Evans then singled Stawberry to third, and Pendleton followed with the game-winning RBI.  So, far the best game I have done.

5 errors??  unacceptable!  I'm taking the ping pong table and the stereo out of the clubhouse so we can focus solely on baseball.
