WEB GEMS- Bot 8th: Mike Matheny blocked the plate, saving a run!

Luis Sojo had 2 base hits and 2 RBI as the Minnesota Loons bested the pitiful
Bristol Blasters 5 to 4 at County Stadium.

Minnesota won the game with a run in the 8th inning.  Wade Boggs laced a
base-hit.  After an out was recorded, Jeff Montgomery then let one slip out
of his hand for a wild pitch.  Jose Cruz Jr. then singled.  Cruz Jr. took
second on the throw.  Jeff Conine came up and he slapped a single.  Dave
Martinez stepped into the box and drew a walk to load the bases.  Stan Javier
added to the rally and drew a walk scoring the run.  Armando Benitez, after
tossing a perfect ninth, was credited with his 23rd save.  

Randy Veres(1-0) was the winner allowing 1 run in 1 inning. Montgomery(0-4)
was the losing pitcher in relief.  He surrendered 1 run and 3 hits in 1 and
2/3 innings.
