In many ways, it was the 2012 positives that got it done. Trevor Plouffe hit a home run. Scott Diamond pitched great. And then the big blast off the bat of Josh Willingham that proved to be the game-winner. Of course, you can add to that...568Mon, 25 Jun 2012 15:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/a-snappers-pitching-gem-r564/The following article was originally posted at Knuckleballsblog.com While the Twins were winning the opening game of their series with the Reds Friday night, I was spending just about a perfect night watching minor league baseball.
