Pirate lead and provided the mar
gin of victory.

(Mountain Music) Melton, receiv
ed eredlt for the 7-4 victory in
the nightcap. It was the first time
this season that the Gianta have
won both ends of a doubleheader
with both starting pitchers going
the route.

of mate on the bases provided

Apparently the Sacramento po

about this. Admittedly, 159 fans
are hard enough to keep track of
in a ball park built to accommo

no excuse.
What we want to knew is: what
