Pilgrims Get Past Lake Monsters 5-3 to Open Eliminator Round
The Boston Pilgrims started the Eliminator Round in style today, winning on the road against the Cleveland Lake Monsters at Cleveland Stadium by a score of 5-3 to take an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-5 series. Pilgrims left-hander Lee Richmond threw 8 innings allowing 3 runs.

Boston used a timely hit from Billy Grabarkewitz to get the win. The designated hitter stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Pilgrims ahead, 3-2. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"Getting ahead of the hitters was the key," said Richmond.

Game 2 is set to be played Saturday, September 26th, 1998. Slated to start are Heinie Berger for the Cleveland Lake Monsters and Jesse Barnes for the the Boston Pilgrims.
