Monkey spoil Garfunkel’s 2-HR game
Maybe C.C. Sabathia isn’t better than Kris Benson.
Joe Dimaggio was 5 for 6 with a home run and two RBI, while George Foster was 3 for 5 with a home run and four RBI as the Fort Lauderdale Flash pounded the Golden Glovers 13-1.
The Flash pounded out 16 hits and four home runs as Sabathia gave up 10 hits and seven earned runs in 5 2/3 innings. Mike Mussina pitched a complete game with five strikeouts for the win.
In the other game, Andrew McCutchen was 2 for 4 with a home run and three RBI as the Chunky Monkey took advantage of three errors to beat the Rolling Thunder 6-5 and spoil Steve Garfunkel’s two home run game.
Jumbo Lewis got the win in relief, while John Smoltz pitched three shutout innings for the save. LaMarr Hoyt had a great game, going the distance with 10 strikeouts, while allowing just one earned run as Chase Utley made two errors and Garfunkel one.
