Brass Stymie Salt Lake City, Take 8-1 Win
The New Orleans Brass thumped the Salt Lake City Buzz, 8-1, at Bella Vista Grounds. Jose L Cruz was a big reason his team got the win. Cruz was 4-5 with 4 singles. He scored 2 runs. Todd Burns earned the save, his 1st. New Orleans leads the Pacific Central by 3½ games.

The result might have been different for New Orleans, had it not been for Joe Oliver. The catcher produced a 2-run single in the top of the third inning to put the Brass ahead, 4-0. For the game, Oliver had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I just try to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Oliver.
