Pearce had held Memphis score- less for eight innings and had two men out in the ninth when John- ston, 5 feet 11, strode to the plate. ‘ Slim Jim fired a strike across, then a bail. On the next pitch—a fat one right down the middle—John- ston swung and slammed a double. Keith Thomas followed with a home run. Pearce had to settle for a two- hitter, but he had the satisfaction of knowing he batted in three runs in the Lookouts’ 4-2 victory over the Chicks. The victory advanced Chattanooga to fifth place and dropped the Chicks to sixth. Pearce had a mediocre 5-6 record with Chattanooga last year after coming down from Washington.
