The Minnesota Xpress toppled the Erie Seawolves by a 7 to 3 score at Xpress Stadium.
Minnesota promptly took the lead in their half of the first when they came up with 4 runs on 5 hits. That scoring would be all that was needed. Minnesota ended up with 13 hits for the game while Erie had 5.
The winning pitcher was Lary Sorensen(1-0) who allowed 1 run in 5 and 2/3 innings. Joe Kerrigan earned the save, his 3rd. Jim Slaton was given the loss. He was knocked around pretty good, giving up 5 runs in 4 and 1/3 innings.
