In a thriling finish the Queens Kings pulled off the win over the Texas
Rangers by a score of 3 to 2 at The King's Palace.
Queens won the game with a run in the 9th inning. Larry Parrish doubled.
Bucky Dent followed and he laid down a sacrifice bunt. Davey Lopes then
lined a single resulting in an exciting win for Queens and a wild post-game
celebration by the home town fans. Queens ended up with 10 hits for the game
while Texas had 7.
The victory went to Scott McGregor(1-0) who went 1 and 1/3 innings, allowing
no runs. Bob Welch(1-1) was the losing pitcher in relief. He gave up 3 runs
and 3 hits in 1 and 2/3 innings.
