In a good matchup it was the St Paul Saints 6, the Bristol Blasters 3 at Shea
Stadium.

Alan Benes(1-1) delivered a fine performance for St Paul.  He allowed 7 hits
and 2 walks in 6 and 2/3 innings.  Benes mowed down 8 Bristol batters.  St
Paul managed 11 hits in their victory.  

Benes got relief help from Mark Wohlers who gained credit for his 1st save.
Ben McDonald(0-3) absorbed the loss.  The St Paul ballclub's record now
stands at 8-8.  Still in a bad slump, with this loss, Bristol is 1-9 lately
and 4-11, worst in the division on the year.
