Orioles Come Back Late to Clip Twins
The Baltimore (GCL) Orioles did just enough to secure a victory over the Minnesota (GCL) Twins, 3-2, at Hammond Stadium. Nobody did more than pitcher Tim Holsten. Dominic McConnell earned save number 1 this season. Baltimore (GCL), with the win, climbs to 9-21.

Baltimore (GCL) took a 3-2 lead on Rob Simons's 3rd home run of the season. The solo home run, which Simons hit in the top of the ninth, left Minnesota (GCL) pitcher Joe McLean visibly frustrated.

"Baseball is about momentum," said Simons, "and we feel we've got it in our favor after that win."
