The score was knotted at 3 after nine innings.  Eagle ended up winning it in
the 11th inning.  The key offensive moment was provided by Bruce Boisclair
who deflated the mood of the partisan fans when he lined a single which was
good for two runs.  Eagle and Marshallton each finished the afternoon with 12
hits.  
 
Sutton(3-1) allowed 4 runs in 10 and 2/3 innings, and picked up the victory.
Randy Moffitt earned his 8th save.  Bruce Dal Canton(0-1) was charged with
the loss in relief.  He was the victim of a defensive lapse and did not allow
an earned run in the game.  
 
John Young was impressed with Sutton and his 10 strikeouts.  'It's tough to
generate runs if you can't make contact with the ball.'
