The Athletics rallied to tie the score with two runs in the eighth inning and then smashed the deadlock with four runs in the ninth to defeat the Brewers, 8-4. Don Money hit a three-run homer for the Brewers. Reggie Jackson batted in four runs for the A's with a homer and two singles.

In the eighth, walks to Bert Campaneris and Sal Bando, a single by Jackson and sacrifice fly by Deron Johnson tied the score at 4-4. Ray Fosse broke the tie with a homer in the ninth. Two walks and a single by Campaneris then loaded the bases and the A's went on to add three more runs on singles by Jackson and Johnson. [The Sporting News]
