WEB GEMS- Bot 5th: Butch Wynegar blocked the plate, saving a run!

The Minnesota Loons got by the struggling Cincinatti Royalty at The Looney
Bin.  The final score was 6 to 4.

In the 7th inning Minnesota went on top for good scoring one runner.  After
two outs Dusty Baker cracked a solo homerun.  Cincinatti made it exciting in
the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs across.  

Max Leon(5-4) was the winner allowing no runs in 1 and 2/3 innings. Ron
Guidry(5-13) absorbed the loss.  John O'Neal was subdued when questioned
after the game, 'Sure, this kind of loss takes a while to get over, but heck,
we're all professionals.  We've been through this many times - it's the
nature of the game.  We'll be fine - as for me - I'll be ready to go again
tomorrow!'
