In a dramatic ending at Jack Murphy Stadium the San Diego Padres won in their

last at-bat beating the Cincinnati Reds by the count of 2 to 1.

 

The game was decided in the bottom of the 9th inning.  Enzo Hernandez slapped

a one-base hit.  Hernandez stole second with some aggressive base running.

Bob Tolan then lined a single.  After an out was recorded, Mike Ivie came to

the plate and laced a base-hit making San Diego the winners and sending the

39,746 fans home happy.  The game was a scoreless duel until the 6th inning.

 

The win went to Dave Tomlin(1-0) who allowed no runs in 1 inning. Pedro

Borbon(0-2) ended up with the loss in relief.  By giving up 1 run in 1 inning

his ERA increased from 4.15 to 5.06.

In a thrilling finish the San Diego Padres won in dramatic fashion coming back

to beat the Cincinnati Reds by the count of 5 to 4.

 

San Diego had the game winning rally in the 9th inning with 2 runs using 3

hits.  After two outs John Grubb got things going when he doubled.  Dave

Winfield came to the plate and laced a base-knock scoring a run.  Mike Ivie

then doubled resulting in an exciting win for San Diego and a raucous

post-game celebration by the home town fans.  For the game San Diego out-hit

Cincinnati 13 to 7.  

 

Danny Frisella(1-0) went 1 inning allowing no runs for the victory. Clay

Carroll(0-1) was the loser in relief.  Frisella and Grubb were really

whooping it up in the clubhouse after the great come from behind victory.  As

John McNamara noted, 'A win like this one can do wonders for a team's

attitude.' Everyone shares in the joy - the fans, the players - even you guys

- it's better than winning by a dozen runs!'

WEB GEMS- Top 6th: Doug Flynn robbed Jim Wynn of a base hit.

 

Clay Kirby whitewashed Los Angeles on 3 hits as the Cincinnati Reds beat the

Los Angeles Dodgers by a score of 4 to 0.

 

Kirby(1-0) escaped virtually unscathed against the Los Angeles hitters.  He

didn't allow much, just 3 hits and 3 walks in 9 innings.  Cincinnati finished

with 7 hits in the victory.  

 

Doug Rau(0-1) was the loser.  'He came out with good stuff,' Sparky Anderson

said about Kirby. 'He threw the ball good from the first pitch on.'

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!'
