Ervin Santana reeled off a total of 10 strikeouts as the Vermont Fighting
Sioux defeated the Dallas Ft Worth Spurs by a score of 3 to 1 at Fighting
Sioux Field.
 
Santana(8-2) dominated Dallas Ft Worth hitters.  He was stingy on the mound,
allowing just 4 hits and 2 walks in 9 innings.  Neither team managed to score
after the 4th inning.  
 
Greg Maddux(5-4) was the losing pitcher.  He surrendered only 3 runs and 6
hits in 8 innings.  Everyone seemed to enjoy the performance of Santana -
except Dallas Ft Worth.  Red Robbins lamented, 'He just was 'on' tonight.  He
was keeping our guys off balance all game.  A fine game by a good strikeout
pitcher - makes it a fun game for the hometown fans - unfortunately we were
the visitors!'
