Ken Griffey Jr. ripped 2 homeruns and had 6 RBI at Windblown Stadium where the
Sterling Silver Sluggers beat the Hibbing Dylans by the score of 12 to
7.

Griffey Jr. punished Hibbing with his bat.  He slapped a base-hit bringing in
two baserunners in the 3rd inning, smashed a bases-empty 'big-fly' in the 5th
inning and clubbed a three-run home run in the 8th inning.  Sterling had 13
hits for the afternoon.  

Ismael Valdes(3-3) allowed 5 runs in 6 and 1/3 innings, and picked up the
victory. Al Leiter(3-6) was the loser.  He gave up 3 hits and 3 walks in 4
innings.  

'The ball was jumping off my bat' Griffey Jr. said.  'I didn't do anything
differently, it's the same way I always approach the game.'
