STARTING PITCHERS
11Z (19-11 2.66) 8Z (19-7 2.65)
It looked like it would be the Senator’s day as Eddie Brinkman and Frank Howard went yard off Fritz Peterson. But an error by Epstein opened the flood gates that closed only after Charlie Smith blasted a three run shot to put the Pinstripers ahead. The home club added tallies in the 4th and 8th to run away with the victory.
