in the top of the first inning
and 20 runs scored on 15 base
hits, five walks and three mis-
cues. James Ogletree, after

consecutive homers on his next
two trips to the plate to drive
in six runs in the first inning.
Darrell Benton also stroked a
three-run homer in the first.
Wade Cox collected three
singles and scored three runs.
Steve Paehl, Wendell Walker
and Mike Joiner each had two
hits in the first. After the first
inning only two more hits were
collected by the Firebugs both
