Lillie homers twice, another win for Atwell

Perhaps competitively inspired by Gene "Basher" Brasher performance the night before, Brewers rookie right fielder Jerry Lillie homered twice last night to help lead the Brewers to a second straight win at Brooklyn (to earn at least a split in the 4-game series which raps up today).

Although an 8th inning 2-run homer gave starter Jim Atwell a somewhat less impressive looking outing (7.1 IP, 5 ER, 8 K, 1 BB) he did pick up his 5th win and 4th in his last 5 starts. Closer Dan Folk got into a little trouble in the 9th, giving up a single and a walk, but he was bailed out by his defense when Roger Rhinehart was cut down by Gold Glove center fielder Danny Hendricks trying to advance to third base on a deep fly ball out to end the game.
