Third baseman Butch Hobson had 3 base hits and 3 RBI at The Looney Bin as the
Minnesota Loons beat the Pittsburgh Bichipoos by the count of 7 to 4.

In the 3rd inning Minnesota scored 4 runs with the help of 4 hits.  The
crucial at-bat was provided by Hobson who brought the crowd to their feet
when he doubled bringing in two baserunners.  Minnesota had 11 hits for the
night while Pittsburgh had 6.  

The winning pitcher was Manny Sarmiento(1-1) who allowed no runs in 2 and 2/3
innings. The loss was charged to Fernando Arroyo(1-2).  He allowed a few too
many baserunners giving up 8 hits and 3 walks in 5 innings.
