STARTING PITCHERS
13Y (17-8 3.21) 13Y (11-6 2.98)
The getaway game at the BIG A featured the quintessential pitchers duel with both pitchers still throwing darts well into extra innings. Manager Bill Rigney blinked first, pinch hitting for Jim McGlothlin in the bottom of the 11th. With a worn out bullpen, Jack Hamilton came on and the Bengals jumped all over him for a pair of runs and Earl Wilson completed his shutout.
