Phil Niekro pitched a complete game as the Columbus Redbirds defeated the
Portland Beavers by a score of 5 to 1 at Tiger Stadium.
Columbus brought 3 runs across the plate in the 4th inning when they came up
with 3 base hits.  John Milner began the Columbus spurt when he smashed a
solo-shot out of the park.  Cecil Cooper stepped into the batter's box and he
delivered a one-base hit.  After an out was recorded, Jack Brohamer then
doubled driving in one more runner.  Ed Figueroa then threw one that got by
the catcher for a passed ball scoring the final run of the inning.  Both
teams ended up with 8 hits on the afternoon.  
The victory was credited to Niekro(1-0) who went the distance, allowing 1 run.
Figueroa(0-1) was the losing pitcher.
