Jack Clark blasted 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI as the Memphis Redbirds outscored the Homestead Grays 4 to 1.
The Homestead fans didn't appreciate the big day Clark had. He cracked a solo homerun in the 2nd inning, clubbed a three-run home run (his 2nd of the season) in the 6th inning and delivered a one-base hit in the 8th inning. Both teams ended up with 7 on the night.
The winning pitcher was Ed Halicki(1-0) who allowed 1 run in 7 and 1/3 innings. Skip Lockwood got the save, his 1st. Jim Palmer(0-1) was tagged with the loss.
