TEAM RISP- Cardinals: 8 for 20 Pirates: 1 for 7
Rick Wise blasted a homerun and had 5 RBI and he went the distance at Three
Rivers Stadium as the St. Louis Cardinals belted the Pittsburgh Pirates by
the count of 16 to 2.
Wise enjoyed a big day at the plate. He doubled bringing home two baserunners
in the 3rd inning, doubled in the 5th inning and popped a two-run clout over
the fence in the 8th inning. St. Louis provided plenty of action in the 3rd
inning which saw them score 5 runs on 5 hits. The St. Louis offense
man-handled the Pittsburgh pitching staff as they scored in 7 of the 9
innings.
Wise(1-0) got the victory, allowing 2 runs for the game. Nelson Briles(0-1)
suffered the loss. He got hit hard, allowing 6 hits and 2 walks in 2 and 2/3
innings.
'It's just about getting in a good hitting position and just going out there
and being prepared,' Wise said. 'You try to hit in your own capacity and not
do too much. I just try to have a good approach, day after day, game by game,
and pitch by pitch.'
