Minneapolis Slaps 6-3 Loss on Destroyers
The Minneapolis Vikings picked up a win at Seaward Stadium, topping the San Diego Destroyers, 6-3. On the mound for Minneapolis was right-hander Travis Sasson. He played a principal role in the triumph. Phil Payne earned the save for Minneapolis, his 24th of the year. The first-place Destroyers dropped to 58-42.

Minneapolis used the hitting of Sebastian Bush to pick up the win. The right fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Vikings on top, 2-0. For the game, Bush had 1 home run and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"I just kind of blacked out and executed my pitches," said Sasson.
