26,444 fans were treated to a fine game at Memorial Stadium as only one run
separated the combatants at game's end.  The Minnesota Loons ended a long
winless drought and won by the slimmest of margins, 2 to 1.

The game started off with Minnesota taking the lead in the first when they
tallied 2 runs on 3 hits.  Minnesota banged out 7 hits on the night.  

Ken Hunt(2-2) allowed no runs in 4 innings, and picked up the victory. Hunt
got relief help from Stu Miller who gained credit for his 13th save.  Bob
Anderson(11-10) ended up with the loss.  He surrendered 2 runs and 6 hits in
5 innings.  

'Wow.  That's about all I can think to say.' said Minnesota's manager
following the victory.  'If ever a team needed a win, it was us.'
