A pinch-homer by Chuck Hinton after a double by Ray Fosse in the ninth inning brought the Indians a 4-2 victory over the Senators. All the runs in game counted on round-trippers. After Roy Foster homered for the Indians in the fourth, Lee Maye singled for the Senators in their half and Frank Howard followed with a circuit clout. Jack Heidemann tied the score with a homer in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
