One run was the difference at The Looney Bin as the Minnesota Loons ended a
long winless drought and defeated the Cincinatti Royalty in 11 innings 8 to
7.

contest in the 11th inning.  After an out was recorded, Jay Johnstone lashed
a single.  One out later, Bruce Boisclair came up and he doubled making
Minnesota victorious to the delight of the the home town crowd.  This was the
kind of game that many fans love as the lead changed hands 5 times.  

The win went to Steve Foucault(1-1) who allowed no runs in 2 innings. Charlie
Hough(5-4) was the loser in relief.  Minnesota, who had been struggling
lately, moved their record to 35-43.  They are now 1-9 in their last ten
