Luis Tiant allowed Keith Bessinger to rest his bullpen, tossing a complete
game at Tiger Stadium as the Texas Rangers lost a heartbreaker to Portland
Beavers by the score of 2 to 1.
The game was decided in the bottom of the 9th inning. Glenn Adams slapped a
one-base hit. Dave Concepcion next to the plate and he laid down a sacrifice
bunt. After another out, Mike Anderson then slapped a single resulting in an
exciting win for Portland and a wild post-game celebration by the home town
fans. The game was a scoreless duel until the 8th inning.
The winning pitcher was Tiant(1-0) who allowed 1 run for the game. Mike
Garman(1-1) suffered the loss in relief. He pitched 2/3 of an inning and
surrendered 2 hits and no walks.
