WEB GEMS- Bot 7th: Rick Miller robbed Butch Hobson of a Homerun!

The Minnesota Loons ended a long winless drought and bested the Sterling
Silver Sluggers by a 8 to 4 score at The Looney Bin.

Sterling fell behind quickly as the Minnesota offense came through in the
first inning as they scored 5 runs on 3 base hits.  That was all the runs
Mark Littell(3-3) needed.  Minnesota and Sterling each finished the night
with 7 hits.  

Geoff Zahn(2-5) took the loss.  He saw his ERA jump from 3.82 to 5.03 as gave
up 5 runs in 1 inning.  Chris Kaufman was just happy to get a win, 'We've had
such a bad streak of games -- boy, it's great to get the monkey off our back.
Now maybe we can relax a little and play the kind of baseball of which we
are capable.'
