A single by Thurman Munson in the 12th inning, his fourth hit of the game, drove in Bobby Murcer and gave the Yankees a 1-0 victory over the Brewers. Murcer drew a walk to open the stanza. Ron Blomberg bunted and when Jim Colborn threw late to second, both runners were safe. After Graig Nettles lined out, Munson ended the game with his single. [The Sporting News]
