Alan Benes carried a no-hitter into the 7th inning and shortstop Derek Jeter
cracked a homer and had 3 RBI at Fenway Park where the St Paul Saints beat
the hapless Bristol Blasters 9 to 0.

Benes(10-9) dominated Bristol hitters. He didn't allow much, just 1 hit and 3
walks in 9 innings lowering his ERA from 3.60 to 3.38.  The right-handed
Benes had his no-hit bid broken up by Jim Thome who singled with nobody out
in the 7th inning.  St Paul finished with 12 hits in the victory.  

Ben McDonald(9-5) took the loss.  He was touched for 9 hits and 3 walks in 5
innings.  'Our guys just weren't seeing the ball tonight.' Steve Sustakowski
said.  'Benes simply dominated us.'
