TEAM RISP- Blasters: 4 for 20  Loons: 0 for 5

Bobby Murcer had 2 base hits and 3 RBI at Candelstick Park as the Bristol
Blasters beat the Minnesota Loons by the count of 6 to 3.

Minnesota was unable to claim the lead after Bristol went ahead in the top of
the 2nd inning scoring a single run on 2 base hits.  Minnesota threatened in
the 9th but Bristol was able to put down the rally.  

Mike Cuellar(2-2) went 7 innings allowing 1 run for the win. Joe Decker(2-3)
was charged with the loss.  He allowed 8 hits and 5 walks in 5 and 1/3
innings.  

'Anytime you lose it hurts,' said Minnesota's manager 'but it's losing the
close ones that really hurt.'
