WEB GEMS- Top 7th: Jerry Adair robbed Jake Wood of a base hit.

Dick Donovan ripped 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI and he hurled a 3 hitter as the
Minnesota Loons outscored the Sugarland Skeeters 6 to 1.

Donovan had a big evening at the plate.  He smacked a three-run homer in the
4th inning and smashed a bases-empty 'big-fly' in the 7th inning.  Minnesota
had 8 hits for the night.  

The victory was credited to Donovan(2-1) who went the distance, allowing 1
run. Warren Spahn(1-3) was the losing pitcher.  He was knocked around pretty
good, giving up 5 runs in 4 innings.  

'Our guys just weren't seeing the ball tonight.' Sugarland's manager said.
'Donovan simply dominated us.'
