First baseman Mule Suttles touched them all and had 8 RBI at Forbes
Field where the Saskatoon Commodores beat the Cheyenne Gunslingers by
the score of 17 to 13.

Suttles was really in 'the zone'.  He doubled emptying the bases in the
6th inning, ripped a one-base hit scoring a run in the 7th inning and
clubbed a three-run home run in the 9th inning.  Saskatoon bats were
very productive in the 6th inning which saw them score 9 runs on 5 hits
and the 9th inning when they had 4 runs on 4 hits.  Despite scoring in
5 separate innings, Cheyenne could not get the win. 

The win went to Jack Quinn(6-3) who allowed 6 runs in 7 and 1/3
innings. Randy Johnson(6-15) was the loser.  His biggest problem was
control as he allowed 8 walks in 5 and 1/3 innings. 

'They made a couple of mistakes and I took full advantage,' Suttles
said 'next time I'm sure they'll pitch me tougher.'

run homer.  New Orleans and Escanaba each finished the afternoon with
5 hits. 

Adams(12-9) finished the game allowing 2 runs in the victory. Don
Drysdale(8-11) was charged with the loss.  'Adams just dominated us'
