Shortstop Tim Foli had 2 base hits and 2 RBI and John Denny went 9 solid
innings at Bentley Stadium as the Elverson Squires staged a comeback win over
the Glenmoore Stableboys 6-1.
 
Elverson scored the winning runs in the top of the 9th inning when they came
up with 6 runs on 4 hits.  The critical plate appearance was by Foli who
deflated the spirits of the home town crowd when he doubled bringing in two
baserunners.  The game was a scoreless duel until the 6th inning.  
 
The victory was credited to Denny(10-11) who went the distance, allowing 1
run. Dennis Lewallyn(2-2) was the losing pitcher in relief.  
 
Lewallyn was feeling apologetic in the locker room, 'I sure let that one get
away.  What a miserable feeling to let the guys down; and our fans.  One
minute things are looking great, then. BOOM, it's over with! I just hope I
get a chance to redeem myself real soon!'
