Game 2 in the Nations Capital, the Sox and Nats at it again. The downtrodden home club get no breaks after facing Gary Peters as his right counterpart Joe Horlen toes the rubber against ex-Dodger Phil Ortega hoping to get the Sens back on the winning tract.
Under ominous skies both teams go in order in the first. Top 2, Tommy Agee singles and made it to second when Frank Howard bobbled the bouncer. Pete Ward then laced a double to right center playing the game’s first run. Top four, the first droplets if the predicted rain began to fall. Agee walked and forced at second by Ward. Jerry Adair then lined one down the line in left and by the time Hondo retrieved it, Ward crossed the plate doubling the lead. The rain was steadier in the 5th, crew Chief Larry Napp said okay on. Ron Hansen walked and Horlen bunted him up a base. Buford lined out but Ken Berry joined the doubles club driving in the third run. Horlen raced the minimum of three in the last of the fifth making this an official game. To the surprise of many, they played on into the 6th. Ward singled with one out moved to third on a JC Martin single, savoring on Hansen base knock. With Horlen at the plate, the skies opened up joined by loud claps of thunder. The grounds crew struggled to get the tarp on, finally succeeding. The umps waited about an hour and a half, and seeing no relief in sight, called the game with the Sox winning the second of this weekend set.
