Starbursts Chop Down Belles, 5-1
The Villanova Starbursts downed the Memphis Belles, 5-1, at Ballpark of Memphis. Stellar pitching by Gordon O'Neil had a lot to do with it. The left-hander handcuffed his opponent all game. Chris Owen picked up the save, his 4th. Villanova, at 8-5, occupies second place in the Eastern Seaboard Conference.

The Belles had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Starbursts going into the top of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 19-year old catcher Collin Ewing came to the plate. Ewing hit a solo home run on a first pitch curveball from Memphis hurler Kurt Knox. It was Ewing's 2nd home run of the year.

"Throwing strikes was the main thing," O'Neil said.
