Rick Giardina did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Twin Cities Northmen from being beaten, 10-7, to the Dallas Wranglers at Bluff Park. Giardina was 2-3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The win was credited to 25-year old right-handed pitcher Frank Dunn in relief. His record improves to 7-5. Roger Long took the loss. Dallas is now 75-69, Twin Cities 67-76.

John Hammit, who is tied for 3rd in the ABL in extra base hits with 52, took Twin Cities hurler Roger Long deep in the bottom of the eighth. His 3-run home run put the Wranglers on top, 10-7. In all, Hammit had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 4.

"We got the victory," said Hammit. "That's all that matters at the end of the day."
