A mini-sweep!
Our 1st series win ever!

We had 9 hits and made 2 errors
Orlando had 11 hits and made 1 error

Frank Cook (W 1-3) went 5 innings, allowed 6 runs (4 earned), 9 hits, 4 walks and struck out 2. In his 1st 4 starts, he had all Quality outings, but went 0-3. This time, he stinks and gets a win!
LHP Bill Grant (H 2) went 2 scoreless innings, allowed 1 hit and 1 walk.
RHP Barry Finney (SV 1) pitched 2 scoreless innings, allowed 1 hit, 1 walk and struck out 2.

Larry Hemmerling (L 1-2) got 2 batters out, gave us 6 runs, 5 hits, 1 home run, no walks and struck out 1.

CF Joe Roberts hit 2 doubles, stole a base and scored a run. RF Dennis Brown had an infield hit and an RBI in his only at bat. LF Cal Doty had a hit, was hit by a pitch, stole a base and scored a run. PR/RF Mike Volkman drew 2 walks and scored 2 runs. 3B Brian Porter had 3 hits with 2 doubles, scored 2 runs and had an RBI.

SS Leaner Gooding was beaned in his only appearance. PR/SS Junior Danielson did not have a hit or a walk, but scored a run and had an RBI, but also made an error. C Bert Swope had a hit and a walk and an RBI, threw out the only runner who tried to steal and picked another off at 1st!

For Orlando, 3B Russ Baker had 3 hits with a double and a walk and scored a run.

Trudy the Trainer was busy. Her report on RF Dennis Brown is a strained muscle that will hobble him for 3 or 4 days. She recommends complete rest. SS Leander Gooding just has a bruise on his wrist and should be fine by tomorrow.
