The Portland Beavers won by the slimmest of margins, 4 to 3. Charlie Hough(1-1) gave a fine effort for Portland. He allowed 8 hits and 8 walks in 8 and 2/3 innings. Portland had just 6 hits for the night. Mark Davis earned his 1st save. Dave Lapoint(2-1) absorbed the loss. He allowed 4 runs and 6 hits in 6 innings. 'I just wanted to give my team a chance to win.' said Hough, 'I got burned on a couple of pitches. But we won the game, and that's all that matters.'
