Juan Beniquez cracked a homer and had 3 RBI as the Erie Seawolves outscored the Minnesota Xpress 8 to 4.
Minnesota was unable to claim the lead after Erie went ahead in the bottom of the 6th inning plating an isolated run on 2 base hits. After two were out John Wathan tripled. Beniquez came next and he ripped a base-knock scoring the run. Erie kept the pressure on throughout the contest as they scored in 6 different innings.
The victory was credited to Don Aase(1-0) who went 6 innings, allowing 4 runs. Bruce Sutter earned his 2nd save. Don Hood(0-1) was the loser.
