(Deadwood, SD)...Mark Leiter pitched 7 2/3 innings of one run ball, and OF
Rich Amaral supplied the power as the first place Deadwood Outlaws beat the
visiting Montreal Royals 6-1 in front of a sold out crowd here in Deadwood
today. The Outlaws now have a 9 1/2 game lead with 17 left to play over the
Royals.
Most of the Outlaw regulars were rested for this game, and some off the
bench players made the most of it. INF Julio Franco went 2 for 3 with a
walk, and is making a strong bid to be brought back next season. RHP Wally
Lindsey struck the side out in the 9th inning for his strongest showing in
his career.
