The Texas Rangers bested the Seattle Red Barons in 12 innings by a 7 to 4 score at Shea Stadium.
Both teams had scored 4 runs after nine full innings. Texas ended up winning it in the 12th inning. Thurman Munson led off and keyed the rally when he drew a walk. Fred Lynn stepped up next and he reached on an error. Claudell Washington then laid down a sacrifice bunt. One out later, Gary Matthews came to bat and launched a three-run homer. Texas took care of Seattle with no trouble in the bottom of the 12th.
Mark Lee(1-0) went 1/3 of an inning allowing no runs for the victory. Ken Forsch gained credit for his 1st save. Don Stanhouse(0-1) was charged with the loss in relief. He was the victim of a defensive lapse and did not allow an earned run in the game.
