In a close game it was the Minnesota Mudcats 6, the Ocala Ocelots 4 at
Metrodome.

Dan Miceli(1-0) pitched well in relief and was credited with the victory.  He
was stingy on the mound, allowing just 1 hit and no walks in 1 and 1/3
innings reducing his ERA from 4.50 to 4.05.  Dave Weathers was perfect in
relief and got the save, his 1st.  

Curt Schilling(1-2) was the loser.  He surrendered 6 runs and 10 hits in 6 and
2/3 innings.
