WEB GEMS- Top 5th: Richie Hebner robbed Jerry Morales of a base hit.
In an exciting finish the Pittsburgh Bichipoos pulled out a win over the
Minnesota Loons by a score of 3 to 2 at The Couch.
The game was decided in the 9th inning. After an out was recorded, Freddie
Patek stroked a single. Gary Lavelle came next and he laid down a sacrifice
bunt. Juan Beniquez then doubled making Pittsburgh victorious to the delight
of the the home town crowd. Pittsburgh had only 5 hits for the night.
The winning pitcher was Lavelle(9-5) who allowed no runs in 2 innings. Max
Leon(4-3) took the loss in relief. He surrendered 1 run and 2 hits in 1 and
2/3 innings.
Pittsburgh, who had been struggling lately, moved their record to 58-55. They
are now 1-9 in their last ten games. With an impressive recent record of
9-1, Minnesota hopes this will only be an isolated loss - followed by another
nice run.
