TEAM RISP- Bichipoos: 5 for 10  Blasters: 0 for 5

In a dramatic ending the Pittsburgh Bichipoos staged a comeback and held on to
win over the Bristol Blasters by the count of 8 to 5.

Pittsburgh scored the decisive runs in a big top of the 9th inning when they
tallied 5 runs on 6 hits.  Pittsburgh had 12 hits overall, while Bristol had
8.  

The victory went to Dave Campbell(1-0) who went 1 inning, allowing no runs.
Gary Lavelle recorded his 1st save.  Rollie Fingers(0-1) was the losing
pitcher in relief.  

After the game, it took a long while before Steve Sustakowski emerged from his
office.  In a subdued tone he answered only a couple of questions.  He
concluded with, 'Fellows, sorry I'm not in a very talkative mood tonight, as
I think you'll understand.  I'm sure you'll find the banter a lot more
light-hearted over in the Pittsburgh locker room.'
