Paul Minner(6-11) went 8 innings allowing 2 runs for the win. Ernie Johnson preserved the game for Minner, recording his his 24th save. The losing pitcher was Art Fowler(9-7). 'We lose our concentration for one pitch, and we lose the game.' Roy Purcell said after the game. 'Maybe now these guys will listen when I say they have to concentrate on EVERY pitch.'
