Duke Snider rocketed 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI at Corruption Park as the
Providence Red Pandas won in their last at-bat beating the Bristol Blasters
by the count of 7 to 5.

Providence scored the decisive runs in a big bottom of the 9th inning plating
2 runs on 2 base hits.  Jackie Robinson started the inning off right when he
laced a single.  Robinson swiped second base.  One out later, Danny Litwhiler
was next to bat, but he was a strikeout victim.  Johnny Mize stepped in and
he cleared the fences for a two-run home run giving Providence the win and
sending the home town fans into a frenzy.  Providence finished with 7 hits in
the victory.  

Jack Banta(2-0) went 1 inning allowing no runs for the victory. Red
Embree(0-2) was the losing pitcher in relief.  He pitched 1 and 2/3 innings
allowing 3 hits and 2 walks.
