WEB GEMS- Bot 8th: Dave Concepcion robbed Rich Dauer of a base hit.

The Minnesota Loons cruised to a 9 to 4 victory over the Cincinatti Royalty at
The Launch Palace.

Butch Hobson had a big day against Cincinatti.  He slapped a base-hit knocking
in a run in the 1st inning, lined a single in the 8th inning and tripled
clearing the bases in the 9th inning.  Minnesota had 9 hits for the game and
Cincinatti had 6.  

The win was credited to Joe Coleman(6-3) who went 5 innings allowing 3 runs.
Bob Forsch(12-4) absorbed the loss.  He was pinned with the loss despite not
allowing an earned run in his 7 innings of work.
