Left fielder Jim Rice had 2 base hits at Viper Park as the Alabama Vipers beat
the Montreal Expos in 13 innings 6 to 5.
The score was knotted at 5 after nine innings.  Finally, Alabama prevailed in
the 13th inning.  Luis Gomez drew a walk.  Rick Sweet next to the plate and
he laid down a sacrifice bunt.  Omar Moreno then drew a walk.  One out later,
Mike Vail came to bat and ripped a one-base hit giving Alabama the win much
to the delight of the home town crowd.  Alabama rapped out 11 hits for the night.  
John D'Acquisto(1-0) got credit for the victory, pitching 2 innings and
allowing no runs. Stan Bahnsen(0-1) absorbed the loss in relief.
