Palermo T-2'35 Att-48680 Tigers 6 Brewers 3 By JOHN GLENNON Staff Writer GASTONIA On an average night Gastonia Rangers first baseman Doug Cronk would have been benched for walking five times to first base But with the aid of Sumter pitching he never had to break a trot Tuesday Cronk hit one home run walked four times and scored three runs in the Rangers' 11-5 baseball victory over Sumter Cronk's homer a solo blast in the fourth inning was his sixth in the last week He is tied for first in home runs (19) in the Class A South Atlantic League "I guess it takes a while to get used to the wooden bats" said Cronk who hit just three homers in 62 games in his rookie season last year "I lifted a lot of weights in the off season and got stronger I'd always hoped to hit this many homers but I wasn't sure I could after struggling last year" Cronk homered in the fourth inning to give Gastonia a 2-1 lead He walked in the second sixth seventh and eighth innings "I haven't seen anything inside the last two days" Cronk said "But you know I guess that's good for the old on-basepercentage" Gastonia starter Francisco Valdez hurt the Braves' onbase-percentages Valdez (13-2) allowed five hits and one earned run in seven in Indians 3 Yankees 1 DETROIT Jeff Robinson won for the first time since April I 3 and Mike Heath hit a three-run homer to lead Detroit over Milwaukee Robinson on the disabled
