A double on a ball that bounced over Rick Renick's head in left field enabled the Senators to gain a 3-2 victory over the Twins in 11 innings. With one out Ed Brinkman singled. Paul Casanova then lined what appeared to be a single, but when the ball took a bad hop and rolled to the fence, Brinkman raced home with the winning run.
