Game 4

Rusch vs Hampton 

This one was also a very tight affair as it was tied up at 2 after 7 innings.  Both lefty starters did fine jobs keeping their clubs in the contest.  With two outs in the bottom of the eighth David Bell drove a double to plate Jenkins from first.  Matt Morris came in and shut the Ocelots down in the 9th to notch the series at two games apiece.

Mike Hampton carried a no-hitter into the 6th inning at Metrodome as the
Minnesota Mudcats beat the Ocala Ocelots 3 to 2.

Todd Jones(1-0) was brilliant in relief and registered the victory.  He did
not allow a hit or a walk in his 1 inning improving his ERA from 6.75 to
4.91.  The left-handed Hampton lost his no-hit bid when Edgardo Alfonzo
doubled with one out in the 6th inning.  Matt Morris was perfect in relief
and gained credit for his 4th save.  

Jose Santiago(0-1) took the loss in relief.  He pitched 2 and 2/3 innings
giving up 2 hits and 2 walks.
