Game Start: 1:05 PM
Ballpark: The Oakland Coliseum
Weather: 59 F, Partly Cloudy, with an 11 MPH wind blowing left to right.
Attendance: 15,790

Top of the First:

Jerry Grant grounds an 0-2 pitch to center for a hit. Gene Dougherty grounds into a force at 2nd, 5-4. Melvin Rodarte swings at a 3-2 pitch and grounds into a force at 2nd, 4-6. He steals 2nd. Glenn Snowden swings at a 3-2 pitch and grounds out to 1st, 3-1... When will he start hitting? Will he ever start hitting like the Beast he was last year at only 23 years old?

Bottom of the First:
Gerry Elliott grounds out to short and P Roger Lerer calls out Trudy the Trainer and has to leave the game.... New Pitcher: Bobby Weatherford (30-R). John Trent grounds one to the left side and SS Dave Risinger makes an amazing stop and throws him out! Javy Puente lines out to deep right! 1-2-3!

Top of the Second:
With 1 out, Shannon Kuchta draws a walk. Dave Risinger lines a hit to right center. Craig Petitto grounds a hit up the middle and Kuchta scores! 1 to 0, Beavers! No shutout today! With P Bobby Weatherford at the plate, we pull off a double steal and then he strikes out... Seems less risky just to bunt... Jerry Grant swings at a 3-2 pitch and strikes out...

Bottom of the Second:

With 1 out, Jack Reynolds gets plunked with an 0-2 pitch... With 2 outs, Alexis Montoy doubles to left center and Reynolds scores from 1st, but Montoy gets thrown out trying to take 3rd, 8-6-5. Tie game: 1 to 1.

Top of the Eighth:
Melvin Rodarte leads off with a walk and Glenn Snowden doubles down the left field line. They walk Fernando Mexicano intentionally to load the bases up with no outs. Shannon Kuchta lines a hit to left and Rodarte scores and Snowden heads home....safe! 3 to 1, Beavers! Dave Risinger grounds into a 6-4-3 double play and Mexicano goes to 3rd. Craig Petitto draws a walk and that does it for P John Bremseth. New Pitcher: Larry Johnson (22-R), who has not allowed a run in 7.1 IP. CF Jack Hinckley (25-R), who came in on a double switch earlier, grounds out to the pitcher.

Bottom of the Ninth:
New Pitcher: Dick Register (27-L). Don Neumann (31-S) stays in the game to play right after pinch-hitting last inning. Jack Reynolds leads off with a walk. There is no one else in the Pen, so Register has to finish it out, come what may... Mario Rodriguez walks on 4 pitches... Actually, we could use SP Duane Howard, so he gets up in the Pen. Alexis Montoy swings at a 3-1 pitch and grounds into a 5-4-3 double play!! Reynolds goes to 3rd. Juan Rosa swings at the first pitch and flies out to right and THIS Ball Game Belongs to the Beavers!

Trudy the Trainer says P Roger Lerer is at the hospital and I need to call the Oaks' team doctor, Dr. Frank... I could not get a hold of Dr. Frank, but I talked to his partner, Dr. Stein, and he told me that Lerer has torn his rotator cuff and is likely out for the season, but might be able to return at the end of September....
