WEB GEMS- Bot 8th: Thurman Munson blocked the plate, saving a run!
Jim Kaat pitched 5 strong innings at Fenway Park where the red-hot Durham
Bulls beat the River City Rascals by the score of 4 to 1.
River City fell behind quickly as the Durham offense came through in the first
inning when they scored 2 runs on 3 hits. That was all the runs Kaat(2-0)
needed. River City went down quietly in the bottom of the 9th.
Kaat got help from Rollie Fingers who earned his 3rd save. Andy
Messersmith(0-2) was the losing pitcher. He surrendered 2 runs and 5 hits in
7 innings.
