Pat Zachry mowed down 10 Guthriesville batters at Hickory Park as the
seemingly unstoppable Eagle Eagles beat the dreadful Guthriesville
Golddiggers 4-1.
 
Zachry(8-7) contributed a very nicely pitched game.  He surrendered only 7
hits and 4 walks in 8 and 2/3 innings lowering his ERA to 3.92.  Eagle had a
total of 8 hits for the game.  
 
Zachry got relief help from Randy Moffitt who gained credit for his 19th save.
Steve Rogers(5-8) was the loser.  Everyone seemed to enjoy the performance
of Zachry - except Guthriesville.  Gary Scott lamented, 'He just was 'on'
this afternoon.  He was keeping our guys off balance all game.  A fine game
by a good strikeout pitcher - makes it a fun game for the hometown fans -
unfortunately we were the visitors!'
