Vacations took their toll on pitching staffs, and, hot and dry weather lended itself to hard fields leading to huge offensive days in the Milwaukee Baseball League.

Long Wongs 14 Johnny Vs 13
In the first game of a high scoring doubleheader, Long Wongs broker their losing streak with a win over perennial power Johnny Vs. The middle of Long Wongs order of Tom Mortonson (5-5), Joe Brand (3-5), Adam Graves (3-5, GWBI) and Ryan Estes (3-5, HR) led the Long Wongs attack. Dan Marx got on base three times by walk and once hit by pitch, and Paul Lennart went 3 of 4 with a walk to spark Johnny Vs offense.
