Sister Susanna Helms wins $10,000 from U.S. Bank and WLW when Barry Larkin and Sean Casey hit back-to-back home runs in Cincinnati’s 9-7 victory over the Marlins at Pro Player Stadium. The nun, who won the money after her name was picked on the Reds radio broadcast to be eligible for the promotion if the team hit back-to-back home runs in the fifth inning, will donate the cash to the Sisters of Saint Francis in Oldenberg, Indiana to help the order meet expenses.
