Al Kaline touched them all at Memorial Coliseum as the Minnesota Loons beat
the Colorado 14ers 5 to 4.

Minnesota scored the deciding run in the top of the 9th inning.  After two
were out Bubba Phillips laced a base-hit.  Luis Aparicio stepped into the
batter's box and he hit a single.  Wayne Causey then laced a single scoring
the run.  Minnesota had 10 hits overall, while Colorado had 6.  

Dick Donovan(4-3) picked up the victory, allowing 4 runs in 8 innings. Donovan
was helped out by Stu Miller who recorded his 4th save.  Luis Arroyo(2-2) was
the loser in relief.  

Minnesota's manager was just happy to get a win, 'We've had such a bad streak
of games -- boy, it's great to get the monkey off our back.  Now maybe we can
relax a little and play the kind of baseball of which we are capable.'
