Maulers Suffer 3-2 Home Defeat
In a low-scoring tilt between the Newark Falcons and the Minneapolis Maulers, 28-year old right-handed pitcher Kunitaro Watanabe was the difference-maker. The Newark right-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. Ted Bigham earned the save, his 5th, for the Falcons. The win gives the Falcons a record of 12-27.

Newark used a well-timed hit by Dale McKnight to capture the win. The shortstop socked a 2-run double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Falcons ahead, 3-1. Though it was his only hit in 2 at-bats, it was important.

"Every loss stings," said Minneapolis manager Spoof Smith. "This one is no exception."
