TEAM RISP- Beavers: 2 for 6  Redbirds: 0 for 4

Catcher Rick Dempsey hit 2 doubles and had 3 RBI and Dwight Gooden pitched 9
strong innings as the Portland Beavers beat the Columbus Redbirds by a score
of 6 to 0.

Portland took the lead off Dennis Rasmussen in the first inning when they came
up with 4 runs on 2 hits.  The early run support proved sufficient for
Gooden(1-1) and Portland.  That was all the run support Gooden required.
Portland had only 5 hits for the night.  

Rasmussen(1-1) was the losing pitcher.  Ed Karpowicz lamented, 'Gooden was
really aggressive tonight.  He kept coming after our hitters.  Heck, why not.
he kept sitting our guys down one after another - like so many bowling pins!'
