Hodges Keeps 13 2 Record in Humid Sunday Win
Cedar Rapids right hander Ron Hodges struck out 12 and earned his 13th win against Clinton 4-2 at Memorial Stadium in oppressive heat. He failed to pitch a shutout for the first time since June 20, missing a Midwest League record and the CR club mark, while Chicago Cubs product Jackie Uhey took the loss. Hodges called his performance self critical, blaming poor pitches and recalling past manager Rodges and catcher Wayne Cato in a tense postgame dialogue.
