The Homestead Grays nipped the Memphis Redbirds 4 to 3 at Busch Stadium in a
hard fought contest.
Burt Hooton(2-0) gave a fine effort for Homestead. He went 7 and 1/3 innings
surrendering 6 hits and 2 walks improving his ERA from 3.38 to 2.93. Memphis
made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs across.
Bruce Sutter earned his 2nd save. The loss was charged to Dave Giusti(0-1) in
relief. He gave up 3 hits and 2 walks in 2/3 of an inning.
When questioned about the loss, Steve Asta said, 'The fans got to see an
exciting game out there tonight. Unfortunately, we couldn't get it done this
time. Next time, though, we'll be the clubhouse with all the smiles.'
