Wranglers Tuck Away 7-4 Win Over Boston
The home team gave the crowd at Bluff Park something to cheer about.

The Dallas Wranglers used the hitting of catcher Terry Meola to subdue the Boston Terriers, 7-4. For the game, Meola was 2-3 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Steve Coomes earned the win for Dallas. He lasted 8.1 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits, while striking out 4. With the win, he raised his record to 14-7. Picking up the save was Frank Dunn. He's now 26 for 34 in save chances.

In the top of the ninth, Mike Cash stood in the box, looking for a pitch to hammer. The Terriers were trailing 7-4, but had the bases loaded. That's when Frank Dunn made a terrific pitch and Cash flied out. Gone was the dream of a Boston comeback.

The victory gives Dallas a record of 79-51.
