In an great finish the Reading Pretzles won in dramatic fashion over the
Homestead Grays by a score of 4 to 3 at Veterans Stadium.
Reading erupted with the game winning runs in the 9th inning scoring 2 runs.
Jim Rice led off and started the rally when he was hit by a pitch. After an
out was recorded, Johnny Grubb stepped in and he doubled driving in a run.
Bruce Sutter then let a pitch get away from him making Reading the victors to
the delight of the home town faithful. Although they lost, Homestead did
out-hit Reading 10 to 6.
The victory was credited to Mike Marshall(1-0) who went 1 inning, allowing no
runs. Sutter(0-1) was the losing pitcher in relief.
Glen Macnow was ebullient after the game, 'It's great to win a hard fought
game like that. Our guys just weren't going to be denied. And did you see
the fans - they were going wild! Yes sir, a very enjoyable win this afternoon!'
