Bosox and Brew Crew split 4 game series

GAME 1 - County Stadium - MIL 2, BOS 1

Jim Lonborg was brilliant until the 9th inning when Theobald singled and Johnny Briggs hit his 19th homer of the year to win the game in walk off style. Brewer starter Skip Lockwood went 7 innings and gave up only 1 run, but left on the short side of the ledger. Reliever Ken Sanders (6-0, 1.20) came on and was flawless for the final 2 innings and got the win.

GAME 2 - BOS 14, MIL 3

Bill Parsons was cruising for 7 innings as Milwaukee had a tight 3-2 lead over the Bosox, then lightning struck to the tune of 8 runs in the 8th and 4 runs in the 4th for the Bosox. That put the game completely out of reach. Ray Culp (11-8, 3.55) went the distance. Both Reggie Smith and John Kennedy had 3 hits apiece. Joe Lahoud had 3 RBI's and his 9th homer of the season.

GAME 3 - MIL 6, BOS 4

Boston thought they had this one in the bag when they jumped all over Brewer starter Jim Slaton for 4 runs in the 3rd. Little did they know that they would give 3 of them back in the bottom half off the inning as their starter, Gary Peters was simply dreadful. The Brew crew scored 2 runs in the 6th to take the lead at 5-4. This would be a lead that they would never relinquish. 8th place hitter Bobby Heise doubled home Ted Kubiak, who led off the 6th with a walk. Ellie Rodriguez, who reached on a clean single, scored when Slaton hit a sac fly to left.

GAME 4 - BOS 8, MIL 1

El Tiante' was crusing until the 8th when he rean out of gas and lost his shutout. Bill "the Spaceman" Lee cam on for the final inning and two thirds to close it out. Boston busted it open with 5 runs in the final 2 innings vs Milwaukee's porus bullpen. John Morris surrendered 5 runs for the Brew crew and only got 4 outs. Marty Pattin had a decent outing yielding 3 runs in 7 innings of work. The "Boomer" George Scott hit one of his patented "taters" to go along with his other 2 hits. Scott had 3 RBI's on the day. Yaz even belted a bases loaded single as he has begun to show some sort of life lately. Luis Tiant (5-2, 5.04) even had an RBI double to help out his own cause.
