In the 8-3 Seattle win over Twin Cities, the impact of Javier Guerra was substantial. Guerra, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1969 draft, was 2 for 3 with 2 singles and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. By defeating Twin Cities, the 5th-place Emeralds improved to 62-62.

With Seattle leading 1-0 in the top of the second, Guerra hit a 2-run single off Twin Cities hurler Gerald Gross. It was the 83rd hit of the season for Guerra and put his team ahead, 3-0.

In postgame comments to the Seattle News, Guerra said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
