Suzuki Shines in 9-2 Sausalito Win
The Sausalito Meatballs topped the Hartford Whalers by a score of 9-2. Leading the way was third baseman Masaharu Suzuki. Suzuki went 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3 for the Meatballs. Sosa Endo went 5.2 innings for Sausalito to pick up the win. The right-hander was charged with 1 run. He scattered 3 hits, while walking 3 and striking out 2. His record improves to 5-2. Iván Méndez earned the save for Sausalito, his 1st of the year.

Félix Hernández had a big 2-run double for the Meatballs in the bottom of the second inning. With Sausalito leading 2-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a curveball from Luis López and swatted a double to center. It was his 19th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Meatballs ahead, 4-0.

"The boys were really swinging the bats today," winning manager Jim Cross said.

With the win, the Meatballs have a record of 51-41.
