A homer by Jack Brohamer in the 10th inning of the first game and a wild throw by Gary Ryerson with the bases loaded in the ninth inning of the second game gave the Indians 3-2 and 1-0 victories in a sweep of a doubleheader with the Brewers. John Lowenstein also homered in the opener for the Indians' first two runs.

In the nightcap, Ray Fosse led off with a single in the ninth and took second on a wild pitch. Graig Nettles walked and Roy Foster beat out an infield hit to load the bases. After Jerry Moses fouled out, Alex Johnson batted for Del Unser and hit a one-hopper to Ryerson, who threw the ball over catcher Joe Azcue's head, trying to start a double play, and the winning run scored.
