Richie Hebner smacked a grand slam at Bentley Stadium as the Glenmoore
Stableboys beat the Elverson Squires 12-5.
 
Hebner was really 'in the zone'.  He electrified the crowd with a Grand Slam
home run in the 3rd inning, stroked a one-base hit scoring a run in the 7th
inning and doubled clearing all three ducks off the pond in the 8th inning.
Even though they scored in 5 different innings, Elverson was not able to pull
off the win.  
 
The win was credited to Paul Reuschel(3-0) who went 4 innings allowing 1 run.
Reuschel got relief help from Timothy Jones who gained credit for his 2nd
save.  Jim Barr(3-5) took the loss.  He was not very effective, surrendering
8 runs in 6 and 2/3 innings.  
 
'I've spent a lot of time in the cage and made some adjustments and they've
paid off,' Hebner said. 'I just take the same approach up there. I don't
overanalyze it. I go up there, see the ball and try to put a good swing on
it.'

of the 3rd inning plating an isolated run on 2 base hits.  Lou Brock singled.
Brock was safe at second on a stolen base.  Lopes then lashed a single.
After an out was recorded, Guthriesville continued their aggressive style
with another stolen base.  Bobby Murcer came up to bat and would ground out.

Guthriesville.  Guthriesville had 10 hits overall, while Honey Brook had 7.
