Devault came through with the game-winning runs in the top of the 9th inning
plating 3 runs on 4 base hits.  After an out was recorded, Garry Maddox keyed
the rally when he laced a base-knock.  Bob Bailey got his chance to keep
things going, but he went down on strikes.  Kingman then bombed a two-run
dinger.  Bill Robinson followed next and he blasted a solo shot.  Richie Zisk
came up to bat and hit a single.  This was the kind of game that many fans
love as the lead changed hands 5 times.

his 18th save.  Gene Pentz(1-2) ended up with the loss in relief.

get the job done.  Our fans deserve better than this.'
