John Smoltz mowed down 14 Denver batters as the Iowa MoonlightGraham topped
the Denver Dingers by a score of 5 to 1 at Qualcomm Stadium.

Smoltz(3-0) was solid in the win.  He was stingy on the mound, allowing just 3
hits and 5 walks in 7 innings.  Overall Iowa out-hit Denver 9 to 3.  

Jason Schmidt(3-3) was tagged with the loss.  Smoltz, when asked about his 14
strikeout performance noted, 'The important thing is that we won, if I get 20
and we lose, what good does it do our team? But, on the other hand, since we
won it feels great!'
