WEB GEMS- Top 1st: Jason Vargas robbed Hanley Ramirez of a base hit.
 
The Duluth-Superior Dukes had very little trouble at Dodger Stadium downing
the Westish Whales.  The score was 6 to 1.
 
Jason Vargas(4-6) earned his pay with a solid performance for Duluth-Superior.
He surrendered 5 hits and 3 walks in 7 and 1/3 innings.  Duluth-Superior
finished with 10 hits while Westish ended up with 5.  
 
The losing pitcher was Nick Blackburn(4-3).  He was unable to control the
Duluth-Superior offense and allowed 9 hits and 3 walks in 5 and 2/3 innings.
 
With this win, Duluth-Superior has a 41-29 record.  They have been 6-4 lately.
Paul Weinberg was pretty down after the loss.  'We've really been sputtering
along lately, something like 1-9 in the last week or two.  That won't get it
done.'
