Sun Rays Wax Pirates, 20-2
The exploits of right fielder John Elway, who finished 5th in the FL in OPS with .901 in 1989, helped the Orlando Sun Rays defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 20-2. Elway was 4 for 6 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4. Kevin Appier, credited with the win, is now 14-10. He allowed 2 runs on 5 hits in 7 innings. Orlando, now 77-61, holds second place in the Federal League East Division.

Elway put Orlando up, 20-2, when he hit a 3-run home run off Jeff E. Gray in the bottom of the eighth. His 26th home run of the season helped the Sun Rays capture the win.

"We take it day by day here," said Elway, "and today was a good one for us."
