Curtis Goes Yard 3 Times: Bryan Curtis went the distance three times in the Minnesota-Eau Claire tilt at Legion Ball Park today, but the Death Stars lost, 10-8.
"Gosh, it's a shame we didn't win this game," Curtis said later. For the day, the Minnesota shortstop went 3-for-4 against Eau Claire with 7 RBIs and 3 runs scored in a brilliant display of power hitting. "I was in a groove and every pitch they tossed up there looked like a basketball," he said. "I tell you what, I was surprised because I didn't think the last ball had enough to get out. I thought it was just going to be a long out." Bryan Curtis hit a two-run home run off Ernesto Pérez in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Ernesto Pérez in the 3rd, walked in the 5th, flied out in the 7th and hit a three-run home run off Héctor López in the 9th.
