The back end of the twin bill about to start, with the home team looking to get back to winning ways after dropping 2 to the Athletics.

Bottom 1, Luis Aparicio singled and scooted home on a double by Russ Snyder, who was subbing for Paul Blair. The A’s kept jabbing at McNally, putting multiple runners on base in the first three innings only for Dave to snuff out the threat. Chuck Dobson kept the Birds off the boards until the 5th, Frank Robinson singled and Brooks Robinson walked. Boog Powell ripped a double down the right field line, Frank scoring but Brooks got cut down at the plate by a great throw by Mike Hershberger. A single and walk loaded the stations again. Lanny Haney lifted a fly to medium right, and Boog headed home only to fall prey to the golden hose of Hershberger. I bet the old marine Hank Bauer will be having a talk with third base coach Billy Hunter over this. Meanwhile, McNally cruised along scattering eight hits going the route for his second win. Poor Chuck Dobson tossed his third straight quality start only to come up empty.

STAR OF THE GAME 2-4 double RBI
