Raul Mondesi had 2 base hits as the Minnesota Loons beat the Colorado 14ers by
a score of 4 to 2.

Minnesota scored 2 runs in the top of the 4th inning. Dave Martinez led off
and he drew a walk.  Mondesi followed next and he laced a base-hit.  Mondesi
was safe on a stolen base.  Tino Martinez was up next and he drew a walk to
load the bases.  Damion Easley came to the plate and ripped a base-knock
resulting in a run.  Wade Boggs joined his teammates in the uprising and hit
a deep fly scoring the final run of the inning.  Minnesota and Colorado each
finished the night with 10 hits.  

The victory was credited to Roger Clemens(12-7) who went 7 and 2/3 innings,
allowing 2 runs. Armando Benitez recorded his 17th save.  John Thomson(7-4)
was tagged with the loss.  

'It wasn't my best outing, but I'll take the win' Clemens said.
