The exploits of third baseman Clay Waters helped the Pittsburgh Miners defeat the Minneapolis Millers, 9-2. Waters was 2 for 4 with a home run. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Pittsburgh pitcher Mike Blackham got the win, upping his record to 2-4. Dan Charlton got the loss. The 6th-place Miners have won 5 in a row.

In the bottom of the third, Pittsburgh left fielder Rick Masters had a productive at-bat. With the bases loaded and one out, Masters stroked a run-scoring single to center. It made the score 3-1, Pittsburgh. For the game, he was 2-4 with 2 singles.

"I think it speaks for itself, I think we came out and we played our kind of baseball," said Masters.
