Brentwood erupted with the game winning runs in the top of the 9th inning as they scored 4 runs on 2 base hits. The key at-bat was by Stargell who disappointed the partisan crowd when he rifled a three-run blast (his 37th of the season). This was the kind of game that many fans love as the lead changed hands 5 times. Bert Blyleven(2-1) got the win allowing no runs in 1 inning. Blyleven got help from Goose Gossage who was credited with his 22nd save. Sal Maglie(0-1) was charged with the loss in relief. Brentwood's manager was all smiles after the game, 'To pull a game out in your last at bats, is a beautiful feeling - and did you see how quiet it got out there? You could have heard a pin drop when we took the lead. But, hey, that's what makes baseball so great - as the great sage Yogi Berra says, 'it's not over 'til its over.' |
