southpaw got off to a fine start, but
stumbled into trouble in the eighth
when singles by Harris, Ellerbe and
Charity gave the Griffs their final
counter.
Harris didn't grab all the fielding
honors. Peck contributed good
play on Ellerbe's crack in the opener
to offset the extra base his wild
heave gave Milan in the ninth, and
Shannon rifled a peg from deep

the umpires. The small end of
Rice's bat, below his hands, was
tipped by one of Mogridge's fast
