Lee Stevens jacked one out of the ballyard and had 3 RBI and John Smoltz
completed the game without help from the bullpen at Jacob's Field where the
Iowa MoonlightGraham beat the Bristol Blasters 7 to 3.

Iowa claimed the early lead in the first inning when they came up with 2 runs
on 2 hits.  The crucial at-bat was provided by Stevens who made the Iowa fans
a happy lot when he doubled plating two runs.  Iowa banged out 9 hits on the
night.  

The victory was credited to Smoltz(7-0) who went the distance, allowing 3
runs. Sterling Hitchcock(1-5) absorbed the loss.  He served up 3 gopher balls
in 4 innings.
