Twins Score Late, Clip Rays, 5-4
Fans brought energy and enthusiasm to the Tampa Bay (GCL) Rays home opener. Ernie Miller started for the home team against Bob Head for the Minnesota (GCL) Twins. The Rays were unable to reward the home crowd with a win. The final score was 5-4, Minnesota (GCL). Ernie Miller, though, was impressive. Dan Johns claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 1.1 innings. His record stands at 1-0.

The Twins beat the Rays in part due to timely hitting. Case in point: the two-out single Tim Britton produced in the top of the eighth. Batting against Ernie Miller, Britton gave his team the lead, 5-3, when he hit a 2-run single.

"You need to show up when your number's called," said Britton.
