Northmen Hand Dallas 7-1 Loss
Twin Cities turned a good performance from starting pitcher Gerald Gross into a 7-1 triumph over the Dallas Wranglers at Twin Cities Stadium. Gross, who won the Rookie of the Year Award in 1971, went the distance for Twin Cities. He gave up 1 run on 5 hits. After today's action, Twin Cities sits at 43-55; Dallas slips to 51-47.

The Northmen benefited from an error in the bottom of the second inning. Twin Cities was leading 1-0 when Melvin Perez hit a 2-run single that was misplayed. It put Twin Cities in front, 3-0.

"I was just trying to execute one pitch at a time," said Gross.
