WEB GEMS- Top 7th: Larry Bowa robbed Rodney Scott of a base hit.
Bot 8th: Garry Maddox robbed Eddie Murray of an extra base hit.
Center fielder Bake McBride had 2 base hits and Ron Guidry had a strong outing
as the Homestead Grays beat the Reading Pretzles by a score of 4 to 0.
Reading was unable to recover after Homestead went ahead in the 3rd inning
plating an isolated run on 2 hits. The early run support proved sufficient
for Guidry(1-0) and Homestead. That was all the run support Guidry required.
Homestead had 10 hits for the night.
Bob Stanley(0-1) was the loser. 'Guidry gave us exactly what we needed
tonight,' Mickey Mantle said. 'When he threw the fastball he threw it for
strikes. They were really fooled by his change. Most of the time he had
them chasing it.'
