Don Gullett reeled off a total of 12 strikeouts as the Cincinnati Reds

defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in 10 innings by a score of 2 to 1 at

Riverfront Stadium.



The score was knotted at 1 after nine innings. Finally, Cincinnati pulled the

game out in the 10th inning. After two were out Joe Morgan cracked a solo

homerun (his 1st of the season) giving Cincinnati the win much to the delight

of the home town crowd. Both teams ended up with 5 hits on the afternoon.



Gullett(1-0), allowing 1 run for the game, picked up the victory. Don

Sutton(0-1) suffered the loss. Everyone seemed to enjoy the performance of

Gullett - except Los Angeles. Walter Alston lamented, 'He just was 'on' this

afternoon. He was keeping our guys off balance all game. A fine game by a

good strikeout pitcher - makes it a fun game for the hometown fans -

unfortunately we were the visitors!'
