Al Oliver collected 3 extra-base hits and Scott McGregor pitched 4 strong innings as the Queens Kings outscored the Texas Rangers in 10 innings 6 to 5.
The game was deadlocked at 5 after nine full innings. Queens ended up winning it in the 10th inning. Craig Reynolds lined a one-base hit. Davey Lopes followed next and he laid down a sacrifice bunt. Jose Cruz then was walked intentionally. Steve Garvey came up and he drew a walk to load the bases. One out later, Carlton Fisk came to bat and drew a walk resulting in a mighty exciting win for Queens and the 43,048 home town fans in attendance. Overall Queens out-hit Texas 15 to 11.
McGregor(3-0) got credit for the victory, pitching 4 innings and allowing no runs. Bob Welch(1-2) was the losing pitcher in relief. He allowed 1 hit and 4 walks in 1 inning.
