Bent Shines in 11-4 Oakland Win
Oakland third baseman Spud Bent had a 4-RBI performance, which helped his team down the Houston Bulls, 11-4. With their winning streak at 4, the Grays have raced to a strong start this season.

The Grays got an important contribution from catcher Joe Loyd, who in the bottom of the third punched a 1-2 fastball into left-center for a bases-clearing double. It was his 2nd double of the season and put the Grays ahead, 4-0.

"The boys came out and just played their butts off," said Oakland manager Bill Hunter.
