The hometown
crowd was rewarded with a dramatic ending, as the Cape Canaveral
Rockets staged a
comeback win over the Suwanee Manatees by the count of 6 to
5.
Cape Canaveral
won the game with a rally in the bottom of the 9th inning
plating 2 runs on
3 base hits. Vern Benson led off and
started the rally
when he laced a base-hit.
Early Wynn was next to bat, but he was a strikeout
victim. Solly Hemus was
next to the plate, but was promptly struck out.
Monte Irvin was
up next and he tripled bringing in a run.
Carl Furillo came
to the plate and
delivered a single giving Cape Canaveral the victory and
sending the
37,999 home-town fans home happy. Cape
Canaveral banged out 9
hits on the
night.
Sam Zoldak(1-0) picked up the victory, allowing no runs in 1 and
1/3 innings.
Dutch Leonard(0-1) was the loser in relief. He gave up 3 hits and no walks
in 2/3 of an
inning.
'Now there is a
lesson in perseverance for you,' Phil Rizzuto noted. 'It was
looking pretty
dim there for a while, but we just kept plugging away and it
really paid off
in spades! And it was great to see the crowd go crazy there
at the end!'
