The Bristol Blasters nipped the Towanda Black Knights 7 to 6 at St Louis Park
in a hard fought contest.

Bristol took the lead for keeps in the top of the 6th inning when they scored
2 runs on 1 hit.  The key at-bat was by Eddie Murray who deflated the spirits
of the home town crowd when he clubbed a two-run home run.  Towanda made it
exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs across.

Rick Langford(6-9) was the winner allowing 3 runs in 6 innings. Rollie Fingers
recorded his 16th save.  The losing pitcher was Steve Stone(0-2).  He served
up 3 homeruns in his 7 innings.
