Greg Luzinski blasted a homerun at Shea Stadium as the Baltimore Terrapins beat the Sioux Falls Canaries by the count of 11 to 3.
Baltimore won the game with an offensive outburst in the top of the 8th inning as they ripped Sioux Falls for 9 runs on 8 hits. The crucial at-bat was provided by Andy Thornton who deflated the mood of the partisan fans when he lofted a three-run bomb (his 1st of the season). Baltimore totaled 14 on the night.
The victory was credited to Steve Busby(1-0) who went 7 innings, allowing 3 runs. The loss was charged to Randy Jones(0-1). He pitched 7 innings allowing 10 hits and 1 walk.
