Bill North drove in two runs with a double in the ninth inning and Reggie Jackson homered for two more runs as the Athletics rallied to defeat the Brewers, 8-5. The Brewers had a four-run inning of their own in the third when George Scott tripled with two men on base and Darrell Porter followed with a homer.

The A's, who entered the ninth on the short end of a 5-4 score, broke the spell of Chris Short, who had retired 14 batters in a row. Rich McKinney and Bert Campaneris singled with one out before North smashed his double. Then, after two out, Jackson iced the game with his homer. [The Sporting News]
