rally came up short.

the loss.  He got hit hard, allowing 9 hits and 2 walks in 6 and 2/3 innings.

Right fielder Dave Winfield hit 3 doubles and had 5 RBI as the Chester Springs
club won in dramatic fashion over the Eagle Eagles 14-13 at Hickory Park
Hickory Park.
 
Chester Springs had the winning rally in the 9th inning scoring 3 runs using 3
hits.  Mike Jorgensen led off and he stroked a one-base hit.  Jose Cardenal
stepped up to the plate and he ripped a base-hit.  Cardenal took second on
the throw.  Larry Bowa then hit a deep fly.  Rick Monday followed next and he
was hit by a pitch.  Winfield came to the plate and drew a walk to load the
bases.  After another out, Hector Cruz came to bat and stroked a single.
Chester Springs kept the scorekeepers busy in the 4th inning with 3 runs on 5
hits and the 9th inning when they had 3 runs on 3 hits.  Eagle was not
lacking for run support as they scored in 5 separate innings, yet victory
eluded them as they seemed to forget that pitching is also needed to win
ballgames.

Bob Moose earned his 2nd save.  The loss was charged to Ramon Hernandez(0-5)
