Fans watched the Honolulu Rays and the Puerto Rico Hurricanes fight to the finish.

Mike Schmidt left his imprint on the 4-3 Honolulu win against the Puerto Rico Hurricanes. Schmidt, the 18th overall pick in the 1971 draft, hit 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Andre Simpson, the winning pitcher, is now 1-3. He went 8 innings, allowing 3 runs on 8 hits, while fanning 5 and walking 2. Getting the save was Al Hrabosky, his 5th.

Schmidt had a game-changing home run in the top of the ninth. On a full count fastball from Bogumil Grzelka, he banged a solo home run to left, giving the Rays a 4-3 lead. It was the 7th home run of the year for Schmidt.

"One win at a time, one game at a time. We try not to get too far ahead of ourselves," Schmidt told the Honolulu Herald.

Honolulu's record now stands at 17-19, placing them 7th in the Ursa Division.
