TEAM RISP- Red Sox: 3 for 8 Tigers: 2 for 10
Norm Cash homered as the seemingly unstoppable Detroit Tigers staged a
dramatic comeback over the Boston Red Sox by a score of 4 to 3 at Tiger
Stadium.
Detroit had the game winning rally in the 9th inning scoring 2 runs using 3
hits. Lenny Green opened up the inning nicely when he ripped a base-hit.
After an out was recorded, Jose Santiago then let loose a wild pitch. Mickey
Stanley struck out, unable to help the rally. Jim Northrup followed and he
lashed a single. Bill Freehan came up to bat and drew a walk to load the
bases. Willie Horton added to the uprising and lined a one-base hit giving
Detroit the win as 33,367 happy fans joyfully celebrated. Both teams ended
up with 10 hits on the night.
John Hiller(4-2) went 2/3 of an inning allowing no runs for the win. The
losing pitcher was Santiago(5-6). 'Now that is what I call fun! I just love
baseball, especially games like this, of course,' Mayo Smith offered.
'Everyone at the stadium had a great time - did you see the fans go wild
there at the end?!'
