Yanks invade the land of 1000 lakes, challenging the Twins in a quick two game set. The New Yorkers have lost 2/3 of their games so far while the home club have experienced the opposite.
With the help of two twin killings, Chance faced the minimum thru three innings. Peterson got his first 7 before yielding a single to light hitting Jerry Zimmerman. The Twins drew first blood in the 4th, Versalles and Killebrew singled. Peterson induced a DP ball but Andy Kosco singled for a run. Top 5, Charley Smith tripled and equally slumping John Kennedy singled to tie the game. Top 7, Yanks scratches out the go-ahead run, Bill Robinson doubled in the run. Bottom 7 the game got squared away again, Kosovo singled and chugged all the way from 1st on Ron Clark’s first three bagger. Runner on 3rd nobody out, Peterson knuckled down getting the next three leaving Clark stranded. Game stayed tied into the 11th. Whitaker doubled into the right field corner and Jake Gibbs served one into left-center to plate the lead runoff Jim Perry. Robinson followed with a two out single to center but a strong dart from Uhlaender nailed Gibbs at the dish. Dooley Womack nailed down is win with a perfect 11th closing out a Yankee win.
