Also, Bobby Bonds becomes the first player to hit three homers in a game this season. 5+ Hits, Game: None 3+ Doubles, Game: Mike Hegan (4), Wranglers 2+ Triples, Game: Mike Hargrove, Angels; Mickey Rivers, Diablos 2+ Home Runs, Game: Bobby Bonds (3), Shoeless Joes; Steve Braun, Badgers; John Mayberry, Shoeless Joes; Willie Crawford, Skipjacks; Willie Crawford (again), Skipjacks; Reggie Jackson, Iron 4+ Runs, Game: Mickey Rivers, Diablos 5+ RBI, Game: Dick Allen, Dust Bunnies; Bobby Bonds, Shoeless Joes 3+ Stolen Bases, Game: Graig Nettles, Cloverleafs PITCHING HIGHLIGHTS Congratulations to Buzz Capra of the Skipjacks, who breaks the one hitter jinx and notchers a no hitter against the Thunder on June 2nd. Capra coasted for most of the day with his only real trouble happening in the eighth. An error by Bucky Dent and a pair of walks sandwiched around a Juan Beniquez strikeout had the bases jammed with two down, but Capra remained cool and got Freddie Patek to loft a soft fly to left. The only thing close to a hit came with two down in the first when Jim Spencer ripped a liner into the right center gap, but Steve Braun made a fine running catch - not realizing how important the grab would be later on! 2 Hitter or Better: Larry Dierker, Iron vs Spikes, 5/31 Buzz Capra (No Hits), Skipjacks vs Thunder, 6/2 Shutouts: Larry Gura, Legends vs Badgers, 5/30 10-0 Bob Gibson, Legends vs Badgers, 5/31 3-0 Larry Dierker, Iron vs Spikes, 5/31 3-0 Wilbur Wood, Diablos vs Cloverleafs, 6/2 10-0 Buzz Capra, Skipjacks vs Thunder, 6/2 7-0 Joe Decker, Shoeless Joes vs Legends, 6/3 8-0 Jim Rooker, Gold Sox vs Hard Cider, 6/3 2-0 Steve Carlton, Badgers vs Loggers, 6/3 5-0 Jim Lonborg, Angels vs Cloverleafs, 6/3 2-0 Jon Matlack, Spikes vs Thunder, 6/3 5-0 Steve Hargan, Shoeless Joes vs Legends, 6/5 1-0 10+ Strikeouts, Game: None BATTER OF THE MONTH - MAY ![]() JOE MORGAN, KNIGHTS Joe
