Catfish Hunter beat his former Oakland teammates for the third straight time this season, allowing only three hits while pitching the Yankees to a 3-1 victory over the Athletics. The Yankees scored in the first inning on singles by Sandy Alomar and Roy White and a sacrifice fly by Thurman Munson before the A's picked up their lone run in the second with a single by Reggie Jackson, an infield out and two wild pitches.

The Yankees broke the tie with their remaining pair in the third. Fred Stanley singled and took third when Bobby Bonds was safe on an error. Bonds stole second. Alomar laid down a squeeze bunt sacrifice to score Stanley, then White hit a sacrifice fly to send Bonds home with the final tally. [The Sporting News]
