Homeruns- M.Mantle(11th), T.Williams(7th)
It was a great finish at Yawnef Park as the AL Post WWII club pulled off a
dramatic comeback beating the Caribbean Estrellas by the count of 6 to 5.
AL Post WWII scored the decisive runs in a big bottom of the 9th inning with 2
runs on 2 hits. After two were out Mickey Mantle initiated the scoring when
he cracked a solo homerun (his 11th of the season). Ted Williams came next
and he smashed a solo-shot out of the park (his 7th of the season) giving AL
Post WWII the win much to the delight of the home town crowd. AL Post WWII
rapped out 13 hits for the night.
Hoyt Wilhelm(2-2) went 1 inning allowing no runs for the win. Mike Garcia(1-3)
was the loser in relief. By surrending 2 runs in 2/3 of an inning his ERA
jumped from 2.95 to 3.79.
'Now there is a lesson in perseverance for you,' Mantle noted. 'It was
looking pretty dim there for a while, but we just kept plugging away and it
really paid off in spades! And it was great to see the crowd go crazy there
at the end!'
