Carl Jacobs, who led the ABL in home runs with 39 in 1970, took New York hurler Nate Frampton deep in the bottom of the third. His 2-run home run put the Northmen on top, 4-3. In all, Jacobs had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 4.

"We've got guys willing to do what it takes to win," Hall told the Twin Cities Gazette.
