Mike Flanagan went 7 and one third solid innings at The King's Palace as the
Queens Kings beat the Texas Rangers 2 to 1.
Queens scored 2 runs in the decisive 2nd inning when they had 3 base hits.
Davey Lopes led off and started the rally when he drew a walk. Two outs
later Carlton Fisk came up and he ripped a single. Steve Garvey then tripled
resulting in a run. Gene Richards was up next and he slapped a base-hit
scoring the final run of the inning. The early run support proved sufficient
for Flanagan(1-0) and Queens. That was all the run support Flanagan
required. The pitchers took over after the 2nd inning as neither team was
able to score again.
Flanagan got help from John Candelaria who earned his 1st save. Bob
Knepper(0-2) ended up with the loss. He pitched 7 innings and surrendered 7
hits and 3 walks.
