Game 18: Bell’s slam in 9th lifts Flash over Glovers 5-3

J.D.

Murphy, Helton lead Thunder

George Bell hit a grand slam with two outs in the bottom of the 9th as the Fort Lauderdale Flash rallied past the Golden Glovers 5-3.

The Glovers had 13 hits, but could manage just three runs, while the loss spoiled Al Fitzmorris’ strong pitching performance and Dave Righetti’s chance for a save.

“I’ve had it with this team. Changes are coming,” said Glovers manager.

In the other game, Dale Murphy was 2 for 3 with a home run and three RBI, while Todd Helton was 2 for 4 with a home run and two RBI as the Rolling Thunder beat the Chunky Monkey 7-5.
