The Senators parlayed the slugging of Ken McMullen and Frank Howard and the lefty slinging of Frank Bertaina into forging out a a 4-1 lead. Sadly, the Nats bullpen were not up to the task alllwi go the Cherubs to tie it in the 8th. Minnie Rojas was tasked to holding down Ted fort but faked allowing the home club to escape with the Duke.
