Most of the Trysting Place Ranger players showed up early Sunday for
some extra batting practice. Somebody forgot to tell them practice ended
and the game had begun, as the Rangers pounded the Rattlers pitchers for
27 hits and a team record 30 runs. Leading the hit parade was CF Pete Jaske
with 5 hits and 5 runs scored. John Arnold, who belted a first inning
2 run homer, collected 6 RBI. LF John Bergner and SS Terry Teske each picked
up 4 hits, with Teske adding 5 RBI. The Rangers set team records for most
runs scored in a game (30), largest margin of victory (30), most runs in
an inning (14), and fewest hits allowed in a shutout (3).
