Ayman Blasts Sasquatches, Gunners Take Game 5, 9-5
The Newark Gunners have closed some of the gap between themselves and the series-leading Saint John Sasquatches, winning 9-5 at The Armory today. Gunners catcher Yazid Ayman was named player of the game after he was 2-4 with a home run and a double. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. The win cuts the deficit facing the Gunners to 3-2 in the best-of-7 ACB Championship.

Ayman had a consequential at-bat in the bottom of the fourth for the Gunners. Coming up with the bases loaded and Newark trailing 1-0, he hit a bases-clearing double.

"They say the first rule of the playoffs is to win the home games," Ayman said afterward. "It feels nice, but it is kind of what we were supposed to do."

The next game is set to be played Sunday, September 20th, 1987 at Saint John Stadium in Saint John. Slated to start are Alberto Vázquez for Newark and Olezka Rochegov for Saint John.
