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.
