In a startling finish the Iowa MoonlightGraham staged a comeback then held on
to win over the Minnesota Loons by a score of 4 to 3 at The Looney Bin.

Iowa came through with the game-winning runs in the top of the 9th inning
scoring 2 runs on 2 hits.  After an out was recorded, Phil Garner started the
attack as he hit a single.  Garner then stole second base.  Al Oliver then
bombed a two-run dinger.  Both teams totaled 5 hits on the afternoon.  

Bob Myrick(3-1) went 1 inning allowing no runs for the win. Ron Reed gained
credit for his 11th save.  Jerry Koosman(6-9) was the loser.  

Chris Kaufman was understandably not very talkative after his team's tough
loss.  He quickly showered and changed and when asked about the game had a
terse, yet polite response, 'Hey fellows, that game was a heart-breaker to
lose.  Our guys gave it their all and played well - fate just wasn't smilin'
on us this afternoon'
