Detroit Beaten, 10-8, by Twin Cities
The inspired effort of Detroit first baseman Troy Stallings was not enough to prevent a loss, 10-8, to the Twin Cities Northmen. Stallings went 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Steve Eaton, credited with the win in relief, is now 2-1. He allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. After today's action, Twin Cities sits at 57-82; Detroit slips to 71-69.

Twin Cities used a timely hit from Ross Clifford to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Northmen ahead, 10-8. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it made an impact.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Clifford. "You've got to get results."
