Lookouts' starter Steve Kelly was credited with his second loss of the season, bringing his record to 4-2. For Carolina, Christopher Young got the win in relief, after tossing four innings and allowing no runs on three hits.

NEWS 'N' NOTES:

- After losing two games yesterday, the Lookouts lead over the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx for first place has dwindled to one game.

- The Hall of Fame game that featured the Reds and Pirates in Cooperstown was rained out in the third inning. Luis Bolivar, Carlos Guevara and Chris Dickerson joined the Reds from Chattanooga for the game.

- The Lookouts are now 14-4 in one run games.

THIS DATE IN BASEBALL HISTORY:

1902 - William "Dummy" Hoy of Cincinnati went two for four against Luther "Dummy" Taylor. The Reds beat the New York Giants, 5-3. This was the first time in the major leagues when two players faced each other when both . . . were deaf mutes.

1924 - National League pitcher William "Candy" Cummings died at 75. He was credited with inventing the curve ball in 1864. It was a more difficult task than that faced by current pitchers. Cummings played when hurlers delivered the ball . . . underhanded. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1938.

1984 - Minnesota sold 51,863 tickets to a game. The Twins lost to the Toronto Blue Jays, 8-7 . . . before 6,346 fans. Harvey Mackay, a Minneapolis businessman, spent nearly $219,000 to buy 44,166 tickets. The club would have been able to break its Metrodome lease if they failed to sell 2.41 million tickets. Mackay was trying to keep the team in town. The season's attendance was just under 1.6 million. The Twins stayed in Minnesota anyway.
