Long Haul Bombers add power to Fireworks Night at Target Field, Crine Leads Twins Post Game show!
Denny Crine – Team Miken
Minneapolis, MN – August 10, 2012 – Denny Crine capped fireworks night at Target Field with some soaring softball homers from his Miken bat. Crine led the 9th stop on the Stadium Power Tour with 9 points.
A crowd of 38,108 saw some massive upper deck blasts, at one of the best new parks in the bigs.
Crine, a two time champ on the Stadium Power Tour was happy to come out on top, but was hoping for a better night at the plate. “I wanted to show this big crowd an even bigger home run show, while they seemed enjoyed it, I was hoping to send a few more Evil softballs out of the park.”
The post game crowd witnessed a tight home run derby. Dustin Roberts of Team Gordie, Ed Vega of Team Miken and Chris Larsen of Team DeMarini tied with 6 points each. Larsen knows he has to hit better to make the finals. “We had a great crowd tonight and they were into it, we could hear ’em cheering, but we all know we are capable of blasting more out, I’ve had better days on the field and will step it up in Texas.“

Denny Crine – Team Miken – 9 points
Chris Larsen – Team DeMarini – 6 points
