Coming up with the bases loaded and two out in the ninth inning, Dave May cleared the sacks with a double and then scored himself on a single by George Scott to give the Brewers a 7-6 victory over the Twins. Tony Oliva homered for the Twins in the sixth inning and drove in two runs with a single in the eighth when the Twins scored four times to take a 6-2 lead.

The Brewers picked up a run in their half of the eighth and then beat Eddie Bane when the Twins' All-America pitcher from Arizona State University dug his own grave in the ninth by issuing three passes to load the bases. [The Sporting News]
