Loons Turn Back Little Caesars, 2-1
Minnesota rode a good effort from starter Roy Shively to beat the Little Caesars Hot N Readys at The Pizza Oven. The final score was 2-1. Domingo Velasco was credited with the save for Minnesota, his 1st of the season. The win takes Minnesota to 1-1.

A key at-bat in the game came in the top of the first inning when the Loons sent teenager José Jarca to the plate against Hot N Readys hurler Ordono Lima. With a runner on 3rd and a whole stadium watching, the kid controlled his nerves and delivered huge, hitting a single off a first pitch fastball to score 1.

"Whenever we hold the other team to one run," said Minnesota Loons manager Sandy Hampton, "I like our chances."
