Golden Marlins 6 - Yankees 1


The real story here was Pete Westfall's performance on the mound. Pete limited a potent Yankees line-up to just one run by pitching out of jams all day. Some of the jams were due to spotty wildness and some were due to spotty defense, but when the game was on the line both Pete's command and the defense were spot on! Pete used a heavy fastball and a hard breaking curve to keep the Yankee hitters off balance. Only one Yankee hitter really smoked the ball, and that was Kevin Jackson on the one hanging curveball that Pete threw all day. Otherwise it was strike outs, broken bats, weak grounders, and pop flys. Ron Lochner got the Marlins offense off on the right foot with a 2-RBI line-drive single to left in the first. I don't have the book, so I don't have the details on the other four runs, but the Marlins did a good job making Yankee pitcher, Jerry Solomon work for his outs. That is how it always is against Jerry. You need to battle every pitch, because you never know what he is going to throw on any given count. He is always one-step ahead of the batters. I am sure we will see Jerry again next Saturday in game two. Round one to the fish!
