25 Years Ago Today:
.............................R H E
WAUSAU TIMBERS 000 110 010 - 3 3 3
APPLETON FOXES 010 020 001 - 4 7 1

ATTENDANCE: 186

This - from Gary Shriver's article in the PC - is all you need to know:
Kent Torve caught the Wausau Timbers by surprise Monday night.

He laid down a perfect suicide squeeze bunt with 2 strikes on him in the bottom of the ninth inning to bring home the winning run as the Appleton Foxes pulled out a 4-3 victory at Goodland Field.

It was the fourth straight win for the Midwest League Northern Division leaders and their eighth in 9 games. The Foxes increased their lead over Madison, which lost, 3-2, to Kenosha in 15 innings.
Well, plus the fact that the Foxes are now 40-17.
