At Hickory Park, the Eagle fans witnessed a great pitcher's duel.  Bill
Bonham(1-1) of Glenmoore (5-5) finally bested his Eagle (5-7) opposite, 
Rick Sutcliffe(0-1), by the score of 2-0.
 
Glenmoore jumped on top of Eagle in the top of the 3rd inning plating an
isolated run.  Wilbur Howard doubled.  Ted Sizemore followed and he laid down
a sacrifice bunt.  Dave Concepcion then hit a deep fly.  The early run
support proved sufficient for Bonham and Glenmoore.  That was all the run
support Bonham required.  Pedro Borbon was perfect in relief and got the
save, his 1st.  
 
Sutcliffe took the loss.  He pitched 8 and 2/3 innings giving up 9 hits and no
walks. 'He gutted it out' Barry Bentley said of Bonham.  'I was very
impressed by his tenacity.'
