Baltimore Redbirds vs. Brooklyn Bridegrooms
Harnisch (15 - 8) vs. Tom Glavine (23 - 6) on the mound.........
In the top of the first Glavine gives clear indication that his game is on as he strikes out
first two hitters (Phillips and Henderson) before he gets Bonds to ground out softly to Alomar
at second.........
Alomar steps to the plate and lines a double to get the Bridegroom fans in a chicken-polka frenzy,
but Harnisch dumps a bucket of cold water on the fans by striking out Orsulak and then getting
both Wehner and Brett to ground out and we leave Alomar stranded at third......
The Redbirds do get a couple of baserunners via Glavine walks in the second.........but nothing
comes of it. Harnisch is clearly in control of his stuff and the Bridegrooms can only manage an
infield single with 2 out......that's all folks......
In the top of the third, with two out, Bonds slaps a single in to left and Ward quickly brings
him home with a solid double to left center.........and the Redbirds have first blood.......with
one out Alomar singles and then stteals second, but the Bridegoom two and three hitters do not
answer the Redbirds......after three, Redbirds 1 and Bridegrooms 0.
In the fourth the only base runner is Marzano for Brooklyn, with a two out single.
Glavine is back on the beat in the fifth as he strikes out Harnisch and Phillips before Henderson
grounds out.
Gagne brings hope to the Brooklyn fans as he leads off the bottom of the fifth with a triple......
Glavine is walked, but Alomar's bat stays hot as he gets his third hit of the game with a single
driving in Gagne and Glavine moves to third. Alomar steals second (his second steal of the game)
before Orsulak grounds a single up the middle driving in Glavine as Alomar moves to third.......
Wehner forces out Orsulak at second and Alomar scampers home with the third run for the
Bridegrooms..........George Brett adds to the damage with a two-run blast over the fence in right
center..........Redbirds take out Harnisch and bring in Bailes to pitch......he quickly shuts down
the Brooklyn rally.
After five it is Redbirds 1 and Bridegrooms 5......
Bonds gets on via an error by Wehner.....but fails to advance as Glavine strikes the next three hitters.
With two out in the bottom of the 6th, Glavine singles and then catches the Redbird battery asleep
and steals second, but they get Alomar for the first time in the game to end the inning.
Fryman begins the 7th with a double and Mass lines out to first.....Quirk comes in to PH for
Bailes and he works a walk out of Glavine.......Bridegrooms decide to lift Mr. Glavine and bring
in Bill Swift to shut down the Baltimore rally. Bohannon comes in to pitch for the Redbirds and
quickly disposes of the Brooklyn hitters.
In the top of the 8th, with two out, Tony Gwynn comes in to PH for Ward and pops out to end the inning.
Bohannon continues to send the Brooklyn hitters right back to the bench.......
Top of the 9th and Baltimore steps up to the plate, intent upon getting the needed four runs to at least
tie up this contest.........Brooklyn counters by bringing in Henry Cotto to play left in place of
May........Franco singles, but Swift gets Tettleton to ground into a doubleplay (2nd of the game for
Brooklyn fielders).......Fryman works Swift for a walk, with Tracy Jones PHitting for the visitors,
replacing Maas........he works the count full before popping up to Brett to end the game and give the
championship for the American League West Division to Brooklyn, 5 to 1........
WP - Glavine (24-6)
LP - Harnisch (15-9)
SV - Swift (13)
