WEB GEMS- Bot 4th: Bump Wills robbed Graig Nettles of a base hit.

Craig Kusick had 3 base hits at The Launch Palace where the Minnesota Loons
beat the floundering Cincinatti Royalty by the score of 5 to 3.

Minnesota started with a bang, jumping out to an early lead in their half of
the first with 3 runs on 4 base hits.  Lyman Bostock led off and started the
rally when he singled.  Jerry Morales came to the plate and stroked a
base-hit.  Dusty Baker then smacked a three-run homer.  For the game
Minnesota out-hit Cincinatti 10 to 6.  

Mike Paxton(4-6) allowed 2 runs in 5 and 2/3 innings, and picked up the
victory. Steve Foucault earned his 19th save.  Ron Guidry(4-12) ended up with
the loss.
