Sending 12 men to bat in the third inning, the Brewers piled up seven runs to start their scoring in a 13-1 victory over the Tigers. The Brewers collected eight singles in the outburst to set a club record for most hits in one inning. The former mark was seven.

Jim Lonborg singled twice and every other player in the lineup had one hit, except for Ron Theobald, who sacrificed, and Dave May, who walked. The Brewers finished the game with 18 hits for another club record, including a homer and two singles by George Scott, who drove in four runs. [The Sporting News]
