Expos bats explode as both teams fight the sun and wind

The 1st inning was scoreless, but that would be the last time the bats were quiet on this day as the teams combined for 33 runs in the last 5 innings. The Expos struck first in the top of the 2nd with 5 singles, 3 doubles and a triple leading to 8 runs. The big blow was a Bryan Dissinger 2-out, 2-run double. A Dan Webster RBI double got the Orioles on the board in the bottom half. Then the Expos would add 4 more in the 3rd, punctuated by a Bryan Hess 2-out, 2-run triple. Two doubles and 3 singles led to 3 more Expos runs in the top of the 4th to make the score 15-1. The Orioles got 2 in the bottom of the 4th on a 2-run single by Curt Zimmerman. An 11-run 5th wrapped up the Expos scoring with the last runs coming home on a 2-run double by Keith Acosta and a 2-run single by Ron Lehman. The Orioles added 4 in the last inning on a lone single thanks to the Wild Thing on the mound (4 walks, 2 hit batters) throwing a few pitches just a bit outside.

The Expos' Matt Smith led all batters with 4 hits, while 3 different Expos each had 3 hits, scored 2 runs, and knocked in 3 runs (Bryan Dissinger, TJ Richartz, and Ron Lehman). Bryan Hess (2 runs, 4 RBIs) and Nate Estabrook (3 runs, 2 RBIs) also collected 3 hits on the day. The Expos had 8 extra-base hits in the game. For the Orioles, Bob Eichelberger had 3 hits and scored 3 runs. Every one of the Expos had a hit and every player on both teams reached base at least once.

Last batter ... Expos: Nate Estabrook, Orioles: Bob Eichelberger
