Bill Stein had 2 base hits as the Chicago Fire beat the Columbus Redbirds by a
score of 3 to 1.
Chicago scored 2 runs in the 4th inning. The critical plate appearance was by
Dave Winfield who brought the crowd to their feet when he blasted a two-run
home run. Although they lost, Columbus did out-hit Chicago 9 to 4.
The win was credited to Mike Caldwell(1-0) who went 6 and 2/3 innings allowing
1 run. Tim Stoddard earned the save, his 1st. Steve Carlton(2-1) was the
loser.
'I always am most impressed when a pitcher finds a way to win even without his
best stuff,' Matt Dzurisin said after the game. 'Caldwell did not have
command of his pitches most of the afternoon, but he proved he really knew
how to pitch!'
