The victory was the Oilers' second straight five inning affair. J & L pounded out 20 hits and scored in every inning in the win.

Gary Bell led the hit parade with five straight hits including a double and a triple, while winning pitcher Dan Quinn, Marty Lambert, and Mike Simmons also had three hits. * Phylly's Inn produced its only two runs in the first inning as Jack Bucaro and George Zuidema had RBI singles. Whatever Doherty's lacked in game one they certainly made up for in the nightcap with a crushing 17-2 defeat of Lee k Mary's Lakeside Inn. Everyone in the lineup had at least one hit except Matt Oik who was not suited up and may not play the rest of the season due to a back injury.
