Tirabassi started things off with
a hit in the third, and the sacks
were jammed after Kennedy got
a base on balls and Norm Van
Ord reached first by virtue of a
fielder's choice,.
This set the stage for Drapcho's
base-clearing double down the
left field line. Russo and McMul

Tirabassi went down on a third
