NOTES: After mounting their big comeback, Bill Stafford did his best to give back the lead. A single and two walks loaded the bases and Tony Pierce relieved to face Boog Powell. One pitch and powell sharply lined into a triple play! Mike Hershberger had a great series, going 7-11 with three two-baggers and 4 RBIs. Bert Campaneris stole 4 bags in the series boosting his league leading number to 3’. Phil Roof could only hit air in this one, wearing the golden sombrero and whiffing four times. It’s either feast or famine as Kansas City has a pair with 10+ wins and four with 10+ losses.
STAR OF THE GAME: GRAND SLAM!
