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!'
