Game 24: Winfield’s grand slam in 9th leads Monkey over Thunder

Glovers sweep Flash behind Clemens (14 Ks)

Dave Winfield to the rescue.

Winfield hit a grand slam off of Bobby Shantz in the top of the 9th inning to lead the Chunky Monkey past the Rolling Thunder 8-5.

Lee Smith got the win despite giving up three earned runs on four hits and three walks in three innings. He basically gave it up to allow the Thunder to take the lead. Ryne Sandberg was 2 for 5 with a home run, while Mike Napoli did it again, picking up two more hits.

In the other game, Roger Clemens pitched a complete game with 14 strikeouts to lift the Golden Glovers over the Fort Lauderdale Flash 4-2.

Ivan Rodriguez was 2 for 4 with a RBI, while Frank Thomas had a home run. Ken Griffey was 3 for 4 in the loss for the Flash.
