TEAM RISP- Bichipoos: 1 for 10  Loons: 0 for 9

Kent Mercker(5-0), with relief help from Willie Blair, constrained Minnesota
while the Pittsburgh Bichipoos scored 7 runs in a day game at County
Stadium.

Minnesota found themselves trailing quickly as the Pittsburgh bats came
through in the first inning when they came up with 2 runs on 2 hits.  That
scoring would be all that was needed.  Pittsburgh totaled 8 hits on the
afternoon.  

Blair got the save, his 1st.  Brett Tomko(2-2) suffered the loss.  He struck
out 9 batters in 6 innings despite losing the game.  

Wth the win Pittsburgh now has a record of 25-22.  Minnesota can't seem to
snap out of their recent 'funk'.  Now they have a miserable 1-9 record over
the last couple weeks.
