The rubber game of this weekender, Jim Nash looks to keep his perfect record intact as he faces Darrell Brandon whose excellent spring has him as one of mainstays in Mgr Dick Williams rotation.

Both teams waste a single in the first. Bottom 2, light hitting Russ Gibson doubled off the monster driving in Petrocelli who had singled, putting the Bosox ahead. Top 3, Campy double and side home on a Hershberger single, Cater followed with a knock before a Dick Green cleared the monster putting the A’s ahead 4-1. Sawx stormed back, Reggie Smith singled and motored home on a Joe Foy double. Foy turn scored on a Tony C single. Entering the 4th, the game stood at 4-3. Phil Roof singled leading off. Nash failed in his bunt attempt, pushing strike three foul. Then the next four batters singled, and it happened so fast that Williams could not replace Brandon until 3 runs crossed the plate. Bill Landis came on and poured gasoline on the fire, allowing all the inherited runners to score including one of his own. Seven singles n the frame with ribbys going to Hershberger, Monday, Cater, Green and Webster. The Beantowners fought back against Nash, inn the 5th, Petrocelli singled in a run, then scored on a double by George Scott making it 10-5, A’s. Bottom six Andrews and Dalton Jones singled prompting Al Dark to pop out of the dugout with his hook. Tony Pierce allowed sac fly for one run before ending the threat. Bottom 7, Pierce continued to be less than effective, walking Conigliaro and a long blast to Scott making it a competitive 10-8. The Kaycee club had excellent chances throughout the game having runners in scoring position every inning and one had to wonder if they would let this one slip away. Jack Aker came on in the 8th, allowing a pair of singles before being bailed out by a DP. BOTTOM 9, an error and a hit by pitch gave the Sox hope but pinch hitter Jose Tartabull tapped into another twin killing allowing the visitors to slip out of Boston with a series win.

Kaycee went 5-5 on their east coast trip. Nash, although being roughed up, held on long enough to collect his league leading 4th win. Including last season, he is now 16-1. Every starter got a hit, except the pitcher spot. 4 players had 3or more hits. 20 hits are a season high for a team as is the combined 35. George Scott had a big game in a losing effort collecting a double, homer and three runs driven in,
