WEB GEMS- Top 1st: Ray Lankford robbed Jay Buhner of a Homerun!

Catcher Mike Piazza slammed 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI and Francisco Cordova
went the distance as the Hibbing Dylans topped the Colorado 14ers by a score
of 8 to 1 at Anaheim Stadium.

Piazza helped send the fans home happy.  He lofted a three-run bomb in the 2nd
inning, smashed a bases-empty 'big-fly' in the 4th inning and laced a single
in the 7th inning.  Hibbing managed 16 hits in their victory.

Cordova(10-6) got the victory, allowing 1 run for the game. John Thomson(7-7)
was tagged with the loss.  He served up 3 gopher balls in 6 innings.  

'I've spent a lot of time in the cage and made some adjustments and they've
paid off,' Piazza said. 'I just take the same approach up there. I don't
overanalyze it. I go up there, see the ball and try to put a good swing on
it.'
