Montreal Spectres Fan Club 1990- Topic

Game 79: After his recent heroics, I guess Jay Buhner was due for a day like this. He goes 0-5 with five strikeouts and commits his first error of the year in the eighth inning.. it helps spark a six-run frame for the Blue Storm that gives them a 7-5 win in the opener.
Game 80: St. Louis' Tom Glavine hits an RBI triple and dominates the Spectre lineup for eight innings, improving to 11-2 in a 5-2 decision.
Game 81: Alex Fernandez has just one bad inning, but that's all it takes. St. Louis puts five on the board in the fifth and hangs on for a 5-4 win. Disappointing end to the first half for Montreal as we are swept.
Two Spectres are names to the All Star team: closer Rick Aguilera and outfielder Brady Anderson.
We start the second half with a visit from our historic rivals, the San Francisco 69ers.
