Del Rice had 2 base hits as the Minnesota Loons came back to win one over
pathetic Sterling Silver Sluggers, 3 to 2.

Minnesota won the game with a rally in the 9th inning plating 2 runs utilizing
3 base hits.  After an out was recorded, Speedy McLaurin began the Minnesota
spurt when he ripped a solo home run.  Ed Finney came next and he banged out
a single.  Rice then doubled making Minnesota victorious to the delight of
the the home town crowd.  Both teams ended up with 8 hits on the afternoon.

The win was credited to Vibert Clarke(2-0) who went 2 innings allowing no
runs. Billy Powell(12-17) was the losing pitcher.  He surrendered 3 runs and
8 hits in 8 and 1/3 innings.  

'Now there is a lesson in perseverance for you,' Rice noted.  'It was looking
pretty dim there for a while, but we just kept plugging away and it really
paid off in spades! And it was great to see the crowd go crazy there at the
end!'
