grand slam highlited a 6 run 8th for the girls, closing to within 7 of the studs, but that would be as close as they would get. tomko went 8 of 12 with 8 rbi's, 2 assists, 4 double plays and a pair of homers, while mark satanic dropped 9 of his 11 shots for 4 rbi and a dp, while tipping in a mikey moroco homer. moroco helped out his team by rifling in 7 shots, while the deep-shooting mike eicker
