Jay Johnstone was the center of this win, unfortunately, it was to the benefit of the New York Yankees. Bottom 1, with two on, Steve Whitaker sent a knuckling line drive to center that Johnstone simply muffed and that was the only tally of the game. Luckily, that’s all Fritz Peterson would need as he spun a neat five hitter, going the distance to warn a split of the twin bill.
