Clint Hurdle homered and had 2 RBI at Busch Stadium as the Memphis Redbirds
won in dramatic fashion coming back to beat the Hollywood Stars by the count
of 6 to 5.
Memphis came through with the game-winning runs in the 9th inning scoring 2
runs using 2 hits. Mike Hargrove led off and started the attack as he drew a
walk. Phil Mankowski came next and he lashed a single. Willie Randolph then
laid down a sacrifice bunt. Ivan Dejesus followed and he would hit into a
fielders choice which scored a run. Sixto Lezcano came to the plate and
delivered a base-hit making Memphis the victor and beginning a joyous home
town celebration. The game was a wild affair with the lead changing hands 6 times.
Skip Lockwood(1-0) got the win allowing 2 runs in 1 inning. The loss was
charged to Kent Tekulve(0-1) in relief. He pitched 1/3 of an inning and
surrendered 2 hits and no walks.
