Minneapolis Picks Up Another L
The Phoenix Thunderbirds defeated the Minneapolis Vikings, 8-3, at Minneapolis Grounds. Bruce Gasca was a standout performer for Phoenix. His 2 hits included 1 single and 1 double -- this in addition to the 3 runs he scored and 2 he knocked in. John Hersey went 6.1 innings for Phoenix to pick up the win. The right-hander was charged with 3 runs. He scattered 6 hits, while walking 0 and striking out 4. His record improves to 5-4. Minneapolis is still trying to get off the schneid, having lost 7 in a row.

Jesus Ariza was 1 for 5. He scored 2 runs for Phoenix. The 24-year old catcher had a key at-bat in the top of the second. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 0-0 tie with a run-scoring ground out off Andy Rooksberry. It was his 19th RBI of the season.

"It's going to click," said Minneapolis manager Ace Cooan. "It's just a matter of when."
