- Mike Ivie walked and scored on Johnnie LeMaster's double in the top of the 7th inning.

Jim Hart then singled to score pinch runner Ken Henderson. Greg Minton came on to relieve Blue and end the inning.

- The 1967 Giants were unable to score in the bottom of the 14th and the 1980 club took the first game. Lavelle pitched three innnigs of shutout ball to earn the win.
- Darrell Evans (pictured at the top of this entry) hasn't been mentioned yet. His picture is on this entry because he did something I've never seen before. Evans batted seven times and struck out SIX times. That has to be a record of some sort.
