Kevin McGowan got the win in this bizarre game, fittingly played under a full moon, pitching a complete game allowing 1 ER behind a good offensive showing from the A's. The A's bats came alive early, scoring 3 runs in the 2nd on a Jamal Saleh Sac Fly, a Kevin McGowan RBI double and a Tom Gramza RBI single. Gramza would later leave after separating his shoulder on a diving stop. Pedro Gil (2-4, 2 RBI) added a 2 RBI double in the 5th, and Santi Mazzeo and Jeff Sampson (2-4, RBI) added RBIs in the 7th.

McGowan gets the W, Gil and Sampson each tally 2 hits

SK tossed a CG on two days rest. Kennedy struck out nine Athletics to give the Astros the one-run win. The 'stros played errorless defense and plated all three of their runs in the fourth. With men on 1st and 3rd, Dave Kwajewski executed a perfect hit and run to drive in Ron Viola. Then with two outs, Tyler Walsh delivered a single up the middle that scored Rich Newman (2-for-3) and Kwajewski. The 'stros never gave up the lead. Santi Mazzeo brought it within one in the fifth by homering with Pedro Gil on base, but Kennedy clamped down and got stronger. After the home run he did not allow a baserunner. Rob Sherman took the loss pitching well through seven innings. He struck out 12 and walked none. Gil had three hits and a SB for the A's. Neither shortstop recorded a chance in the field.

How do we not have Kennedy's picture? Kwajewski and Walsh were the RBI men.

Cardinals take the A's 6-3 in a yawner at Ryan Field. Matt Walker picks up his 1st MABL win by throwing 3.1 IP of 3 hit ball. Offensively, the Cards were led by Chris Caprio (3-4, 2R, 2RBI) and Billy MacDougal (1-3, 2R, 3SB). Rob Sherman went a hard fought 3.2 IP for the A's. Jay Wisner started for the Cards and no hit the A's through 3.2 IP. Problem was, he couldn't throw a strike either in giving up 10BB and 5K.

Walker 1st MABL win. Caprio walk tall, carry big stick!
