Steve Ontiveros had 2 base hits and scored 4 times as the Glenmoore Stableboys
outscored the Devault Dynamiters 9-5.
 
Devault never recovered after Glenmoore took the lead in the bottom of the 3rd
inning with 3 runs on 3 base hits.  After an out was recorded, Johnny Bench
kicked off the action when he drew a walk.  Bake McBride was next and he
stroked a one-base hit.  McBride swiped second base.  Richie Hebner followed
and he reached on an error.  One out later, Ontiveros stepped up to the plate
and he doubled.  Barry Bonnell kept things alive and slapped a base-hit.
Glenmoore continued their aggressive style with another stolen base.  Devault
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.  
 
Bill Bonham(11-7) picked up the victory, allowing 3 runs in 5 and 1/3 innings.
Pedro Borbon recorded his 3rd save.  Jackie Brown(3-8) took the loss.  He got
hit hard, allowing 11 hits and 5 walks in 6 and 1/3 innings.

and 4 walks in 7 and 1/3 innings.  
 
'I had a little blister on my index finger before the game, but I thought it
was nothing.' Twitchell said.  'I was lucky I got a win because I couldn't
put the ball where I wanted it.'

runs. The losing pitcher was Don Sutton(9-10).

white hairs on this noggin of mine.'
