WEB GEMS- Top 9th: Sal Bando robbed Lyman Bostock of a base hit.

Lou Piniella jacked one out of the ballyard at St Louis Park where the St
Louis Park Orioles beat the Minnesota Loons 4 to 3.

St Louis Park took the lead for good in the 7th inning scoring one runner.
Denny Doyle was hit by a pitch.  After an out was recorded, Piniella came to
the plate and delivered a base-hit.  Joe Rudi then would hit into a force
play scoring the run.  Lerrin Lagrow was perfect in relief and got the save,
his 5th.  

The victory was credited to Reggie Cleveland(1-1) who went 1 and 2/3 innings,
allowing no runs. Steve Foucault(0-1) was given the loss in relief.  He
surrendered 2 hits and 1 walk in 2 innings.  

'After the stretch we have been through lately, this victory is especially
sweet' offered Tom Kelly.  Now, we just have to make this the norm - not the
exception!'
