Great Effort by Gross Wasted in 10-7 Mounties Loss
The inspired effort of Ottawa catcher Emil Gross was not enough to prevent a loss, 10-7, to the Wandering House of David. Gross was 2-3 with 2 home runs and a walk. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice. Ed Bauta notched his 6th save in 12 chances. The House of David raised their record to 68-73.

Mark McGwire had a big grand slam home run for the House of David in the bottom of the third inning. With Wandering leading 3-2 and the bases loaded, he sized up a sinker from 24-year old right-handed pitcher Al Orth and punished it. The result was his 18th home run of the season, which put the House of David on top, 7-2.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said McGwire. "And not try to do too much."
